I’ve always loved the sound of an amplified nylon string
Great demo ...lovely playing.
I'm amazed that such a beautiful sounding and high quality guitar is available at such a reasonable price....brilliant..!!.
Great demo and playing, thanks Ben
I absolutely love this guitar. Literally feel like it was made for me. Have been playing Classical/ Nylon Style Guitars (requinto) for many years now, with the hopes of breaking into more “mainstream” music. This is literally the silkroad child I have been looking for.
I use it with a Fishman Amp, and it just sounds incredible. Great for solo playing or with others. No feedback when I turn up for those live performances either 🥹
Ben.. your play out was simply beautiful brother.. beautiful.
That guitar is a beauty
That body blend control sounds like it’s adding a touch of reverb and brings the sound to what I’d call a full-bodied sound, as in a normal-depth body. I’d love to get one… but I’ll probably end up with something like the Artist Guitar’s top classical guitar instead!
I am in the U.S. I can't find this guitar in any local shops to "feel" it live. But you are a great inspiration. I thank you for posting this review. I will have to order online. So this helps tremendously. So I hope this tells you how much "we" out here in the areas who cannot find one deeply appreciate the trouble you took to do this and you seem very much to have enjoyed it also. Cheers.
Just played one at a Phoenix guitar center clean sound
@@joeyomen4118 I ordered it from Sweetwater. Love it.
I hope everyone goes and checks out some Jerry Reeds stuff if they don't know of him already. Start with Jerrys breakdown and go from there!
This guitar looks great! Potentially a great alternative to the Godin Multiac.
Gorgeous guitar!
Excellent sound ❤
Awesome sound🤤
I have that guitar and in love it
looks good sounds pretty good !
Ooh la la. Ben this! Wunderbar.
Lovely playing and thanks for previewing this one! Will check into my local Cordoba agents shop and see when they expect it in. The price seems very reasonable given the pedigree (Cordoba know a thing or two about nylon strings) and the built in electronics. I suspect this one would work nicely for Bossa style as well. You mentioned the Gibson Chet Atkins. I had a chance to spend a some time with 2 that went thru the shop when I was a guitar salesman in the 70's. TBH I found the sound a bit 'rubbery' and unconvincing (I had a nice K. Yairi Classic and wanted something clean and bright for band work) so I passed but in 1992 I bought a Roger Sadowsky Electric Nylon which has been great for the odd occasion when I have been playing live - worth checking out. Thanks again!
Was just eyeing off that Tim Henson Ibanez - think this might be a better buy. Ben is a very rare, special type of Anderton employee - he can say the word "knob" and still continue on professionally lol. Thanks for the demo mate!
I have a very similar guitar from Angel Lopez that I really like and the plugged-in sound is amazing!
Been waiting for Andertons to do this one for a long time. Need to do one on the Ibanez nylon electro's 😊
Lovely outro. Might I also suggest some Dave Mathews and Willie sounds when doing amped nylons ...
For a long time? It just came out.
Ohmy sweet Baby Jesus this sounds SO good!
Nice tone
Just heard this in a live band setting and it sounds amazing. On my list although I have never heard of the brand before.
Cordoba is almost entirely nylon string guitars, primarily classical. They're probably the biggest sellers of classical guitars in North America
Fernandes Elecoustic body style and design... even down to the knobs. The Fernandes played and sounded incredible, and it was lightweight which made it a breeze to carry on my back/shoulder in a double gig bag with my Strat.
Not sure why they discontinued them. I think was a huge mistake. It was a great sounding and smooth playing guitar.
It is very tempting. I have a Yamaha AEX500N2 which is great and overall sounds pretty good with the right settings. I think the Yamaha is a slightly narrower neck and shorter scale length. The nut is possibly just a touch too narrow with the high E just a bit close to the edge but the main thing I miss that the Cordoba has is the body sensors as the Yamaha just has the undersaddle so is limited for percussive effects and getting the blend of the fuller body sound. I guess a lot depends on amp or other settings but the sound of the Cordoba has ranged from excellent through to average as it comes across in this video or even poor to mediocre in a couple of others but that should be just finding the settings that work. Do I need one - no; do I want one - yes.
Great playing and description of the Cordoba Stage! I love the looks, sound and specs of this guitar. None of the music stores in my area have it in stock so I might order it on line without playing it first. My only reluctance is that a few commenters have said that both of the E strings tend to slip off the fingerboard especially around the 12 fret area. Any insight on that issue?
Usually is a matter of under par technique.
Doesn’t the body control make the body more percussive? Like for tapping on the body while you’re playing?
Hi, can you tell what heigth is the action at the 12th fret ? Thanks .
My Godin MultiAc ACS SA wants some playing too!
That piece you played at the end... Is there anywhere I can listen to that on an 8-hour loop? "Moooodyy"
Lovely guitar ! I’d be interested if Córdoba made a steel stringer tho !! Based on electric acoustic that accommodates a plain G , bit like the Taylor Tz model
Godin will always be the king in this style of guitars
What amplifier is being used?
"Play it brother !"
🗨️☝️😎
I want to try playing one of these but i can't find one nearby :( (i think its my dream come true.. do you think gut strings would be picked up equally well by the pick-up system? I beliiiiieve its two internal microphones, of some description idk, inside just below and to the side of the bridge)
* agree that finish is ugly ! 😂
Nice demo as always from Ben. Agreed that the classical player is unlikely to get into this - it really sounds like a classical guitar with everything the body provides taken out. Sounds like there is simply no resonance, and you're almost hearing the naked strings. Saying that, I am sure it has its applications with a bit of reverb and other electronic jiggery pokery.
jiggery-pokery, perfectly said
This demo has a very "direct" sound (somewhat lifeless/anemic, dry) doesn't do it justice imo. However it absolutely comes alive through an acoustic amp like an AER 60 or Fishman Artist pushing some air..add reverb to taste and sounds phenomenal!
Hi! 🙂
The sound of Classical guitar & Archtop guitar is a little similar to each other. Isn't it? 🤔
Both are soft, mellow & pleasant. 🎶🎵☕️❤☺️
Maybe that's why the Classical guitar is used in some Jazz music like Bossa Nova. Don't you think? 🤔
An affordable alternative to the potential Polyphia signatures.
Godin has a few as well
@@thesmellycatjazz Sure but godin isnt as cheap as this
Today I spent a couple of hours in a music store trying out two of these; plus a Yamaha NTX 3. I had been thinking about getting a nylon electric hybrid for gigging, as my arthritis makes steel strings harder to play these days. I also love the sound of nylon strings.
While they were lovely guitars and sounded nice I was overall disappointed by these instruments.
Both Cordobas had an annoying buzz around the 4th fret of the D string. The fretboard felt a bit cheap; not overly pleasant to play.
The Yamaha NTX 3 had a nicer feel on the fretboard; but there was an intonation problem on a couple of strings.
I expected far far better than this. And therefore have to rethink my whole nylon electric guitar approach.
I played a $500 Fender thin nylon electric which was not much worse than these.
And to be honest my $100 Valencia beginner guitar which I use for teaching and a knock about guitar is not much worse.
I don't believe in paying much more than $1000 AUS for a guitar and at this price they should be decent quality and at least playable.
If I am going to fork out 1200-1500 for a Cordoba or Yamaha it should bloody well be gig ready with few minor adjustments and not require 'repairs' at the outset.
I mentioned this to the music store staff and just got a blank look.
"maybe you need to spend $3000 for a decent guitar".
Like everything today - things cost so much more and are poor quality.
And who is going to drag 2 or 3 instruments worth $2000-3000 each to gigs that pay $150 to a bunch of pissed morons.
Hello, I would like to ask if the guitar produces a good sound even without an amplifier. Also, if in a next video you can hear the sound without an amplifier. Thank you
It will sound ok but it will not be very loud. The whole point of the body in a Spanish guitar is to amplify the sound.
has anyone compared this to the harley benton hybrid?
Really good yes but... please what is the chain of sound?? What amp are you using?? with the nylon guitars the amp is perhaps the most important element...
No need to explain I guess. Simply straight DI.
We need a Cordoba vs Tod10N review please!
Nice. I want to see comparison to Ibanez TOD10N. I'm thinking buying either.
i was stuck between the same, i could not play either in person. The Cordoba is said to have factory high action at 12th fret (but that can be adjusted.) even so i just bought the Cordoba it seems like a great guitar (also i was simping for the look and tones.) I think the ibanez could end up being worth more money one day, more exclusive. small amount of buyers remorse not getting it. Ibanez makes good stuff so very good chance it plays awesome right out of the box on top. It same nut width as the Cordoba if that helps. i would get back to you when my new guitar arrives to update but I will be too busy than. lol
Idk I think it sounded kinda muddy compared to a reg half classical cutaway (flamenco). Tried it in the store today. The Flamenco was more muted, but it sounded a lot better amped up.
I bought one. It's a beautiful guitar but I'm finding that the extraneous string noise, even with polished basses, makes it almost unusable for recording unless I kill a ton of treble. Anyone else having this problem?
The guitar looks "darker" in the video, compared to the photos on the website....I wonder which is a more accurate depiction of the actual color, or if the color of the instrument varies that much.
As per norm Ben top picking, like yourself mate don't know about the classical players. I would like to hear Alan Mearns put it through it's places a wee touch of Bach. Maybe the captain could interview him like R. Beato did. 👍👍🥃Respect to you mate.
The new Godin nylon deluxe multiac seems to have a much better tone (albeit at a higher price). It would be nice to see a review of that new model.
why didn't you plug this in the Soldano?!
Looks good but that's where it ends. In keeping with Cordoba in general, it is underwhelming for it's price. Godin rules the roost in this category.
03:01 I've seen quite a few reviews of this guitar but unfortunately the reviews are all from the perspective of "steel string players" (who are used to a narrow nut width) adjusting to this slightly wider 48mm nut width than they are used to. I'm coming from the opposite direction, being used to the 50mm nut width on my Cordoba GK Pro Negra. I'm so used to that width that I'm concerned my fingers would be cramped with this "skinny" 48mm width. I wish at least one reviewer would also be coming from a classical or flamenco guitar to comment if that 48mm nut feels "too skinny". I guess I'll just have to find on in a shop and give it a try myself.
Are there any classical/flamenco players out there who have tried this model? If so, please leave a few impressions of the 48mm nut. Does the narrowness bother you, or did you quickly get used to it?
i played on a normal classical guitar for about 6 years before I bought the Stage. It did indeed take a few days to get used but it wasn’t difficult at all, and has never caused any problems for me. My hands are pretty meaty. I don’t think you’ll have any trouble, man, but it’s always worthwhile to go try one yourself before you buy.
How do these sound unplugged? I also have a Katana; would that be an ok amp with this?
unplugged hardly audible at all. less than speaking levels. designed literally to be plugged in. katana would be fine but an acoustic amp would be a much better match for the "best sound" for the guitar. youd be ok, but far from ideal. hope it helps
Katana on the acoustic setting would work fine
You'd need something like a Godin Multiac Grand Concert. I got a Godin Multiac Slim and returned it because I wanted to be able to practice unplugged
@@terrybanks5063 good to know! Might look into acoustic amps too now
@@thesmellycatjazz ooh those are nearly $2k though.. for my casual playing this one might be ok
Im three, Nearly 5!!!✋🏼
Does it play unplugged at all, or is it like a typical electric?
Plays nice in a quiet room but comes alive plugged in
i woulde like to see that guitar along side a drummer, sense i think that what it made for.
I love the look, and the sound when you play softer things, but it sounds buzzy on the wound strings to my ear when you strum or play anything with heavier picking. Idk if that's the guitar, or the pickup system, or the amp, or the recording.
I definitely picked up on it too, which is fine for a flamenco set-up as a bit of buzz is expected however might not fly for more classical stuff unless it's designed to play well with the strings raised a bit too. I think it is the set up of the guitar from the sound of it.
It's the undersaddle piezo pickup
I like the more portable format of these thin "electric" nylon string guitars but the piezo really kills it for me. I have seen some models with other types of piezo/transducer microphone that give off a more rounded tone, you can always blend the bridge saddles in for more definition.
He's a good player but too heavy-handed for this guitar in my opinion and personally I never have liked blues on a nylon string. It just sounds weird to me. But those are good guitars, especially for flamenco
The big guitar channels seem to struggle with nylon guitars. Skip the pick and learn Lagrima, guys!
Well it a nice .... review of the guitar .... what else can it be? thats what youtube is for :)
I want to start my daughter out on a nylon. Just to build her fingers. I need a good beginner guitar but beginner price
Polyphia time
I was guessing somebody would say that.
Ibanez better be quick with those signature guitars...
@@patfix For real
@@bolillo5013 let's be real, most demand for classical guitars is currently because of them
This is the correct response
Great playing as always, but I still hear some piezo quack, especially in the basses.
Still has that quack.
I am glad for this demo. Saw this guitar hit the market and was interested. After hearing the sound quality, I am out. Not sure if it was the video sound EQ or amplification but just sounded like a budget priced instrument. I have a couple nylon electrics and they sound so much better but full hollow bodies and I deal with feedback at loud volume. Taylor N series and an older Alvarez. Still like the Godin for this style but do not own one yet. Anyone remember Acoustic Alchemy, that is a sound standard. Cheers!
BTW, excellent playing
This is a beautiful guitar but Nylocaster comes with a tremolo.
I used to have a Gibson Chet Atkins solid body guitar. The Cordoba sounds just like it. They just can't figure out how to make it sound like a real guitar. There's no sustain, no tone. It's completely flat. It would take a tone of effects to make it sound acceptable, but this guitar is still useful, because there are almost no alternatives.
There must be something wrong with audio on the video. The wound strings sound fuzzy. Like they are clipping. It’s not nice.
Plain strings sound nice.
If that is actually how it’s supposed to sound.
Nope
On the budget pricing, I think yamaha and godin just dominates this field of thin and quiet stage nylon guitar.
A Godin sounds a million miles better.
Middle Knob Scoops Mids Probably at 1.5K
That's a lot of guitar for 599!
Its definitely missing the interaction with an acoustic guitar body.
How much worse or better is this than the godin guitars?
Similar to the Godin
Quack!
Böyle yaparsan alacağımız varsa da vazgeçecez
Barok Times remains the sound
the woods and constrution looks good, maybe this guitar is compered to the sound of a 1200 dolar guitar.
I tried one a few weeks ago
Its really playable and comfortable
Electronics are not really impressive and not a very good sound
Typical piezo sound
Godins are much much better for any musician
Nice playing but the sound isn't doing it for me.
I think using a thumb pick on nylon is a lousy idea.
If you are endeavoring to entice the viewers/listeners to buy the guitar I would recommend re-shooting this with playing samples that sound good.
Add some bass + verb
Man, the tone sounds awful compared to the video on Cordoba's official channel :/
Sounds nothing like nylon classical or flamenco guitars.
Better off getting the Yamaha silent guitar for "stage".
I'm hearing intonation problems in this video as well as all of the others I've listened to. I'm more and more convinced that this guitar is not worth it.
Quak
PRIVATE.....Investigatioooooonnnnns....
Lol @ playing a nylon string w a plectrum. Rookies.
Lol @ insufferable classical guitar elitists.
You don't play nylons with a thumb pick
I do...
I do and so does many other fingerstyle players. I can and did play with fingers only but after playing steel strings for ages I adopted the thumbpick.
Playing God - Polyphia. That is all.
Just doesn't sound very good unfortunately.
I don't know - looking great but the sound is just an average generic piezo on a nylon guitar kind of thing. Unimpressed, honestly
A Godin rip off .
MultiAc 👍🏻🥃👏🏼
not a fan of nylon strings...
... they are "ok" on an acoustic guitar, but never on my electric...
just my personal preference...
kudos to anyone whom enjoys nylon strings. 👍
Piezo is horror.
I'm a Cordoba fan, but this sounds almost as bad as Willie Nelson's guitar.
Utterly underwhelming.
I do not understand why you demonstrate guitars, when you cannot even buy them now.
Those do not sound great
Must be an incredible weight on the shoulders to decide for the entirety of humanity what constitutes a subjectively great sound. We salute you for your service.
@@oldmanzen6682 Thank you. It's not easy, but It's my cross to bear.
@@oldmanzen6682 Joe is right though. That sounds terrible. Not sure why. Maybe it's the amp, maybe the picking. But the sound is horrible nevertheless 🤷🏻♂️
@@i_prskv2690 Apparently confusing opinions with facts is catching. We should see about protecting ourselves, lest it spread into another pandemic.
@Old Man Zen Is that your opinion, or a fact? Very suspicious 🤔
wow, that sounds horrible. Better using a mic.
