Cordoba ABASI STAGE 7 Special Acoustic-electric Guitar

ABASI STAGE 7 ZIRICOTE W/B: Modern Nylon Innovation for the Stage

The Cordoba ABASI STAGE 7 ZIRICOTE W/B redefines the boundaries of nylon-string design for today’s electric guitarist. In collaboration with Abasi Concepts, this 7-string electroacoustic merges Cordoba’s solidbody Stage platform with the ergonomic Larada silhouette to inspire creative versatility and high-output performance. Players after genuine nylon tone in a feedback-resistant, contemporary package will discover this instrument delivers both immersive sound and effortless playability. What distinguishes this model is the 7-string multiscale configuration with 24 fanned frets, providing extended range and clarity for intricate compositions. Fishman’s custom Stage Pickup System, developed for this series, integrates body sensors and undersaddle transducers, resulting in a nuanced amplified sound shaped by side-mounted Volume, EQ, and Body Blend controls.

Extended Playability and Ergonomics – Designed for Stage Performance

For guitarists demanding both comfort and expressive reach, the ABASI STAGE 7 ZIRICOTE W/B offers a compound fingerboard radius (16–24 mm) and multiscale fretting. The highly chambered mahogany body cuts weight and eliminates feedback, while its slim, set mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard provides a natural feel for electric players adapting to nylon. These design decisions make it easy to explore advanced techniques during long performances.

• Scale Length: 698.5 mm (bass), 647.7 mm (treble) — supporting tight low-end and crisp highs
• Fingerboard Radius: Compound 16–24 mm — comfortable for chords and solos across the fingerboard
• With 24 fanned frets, this instrument covers the full modern range needed for contemporary styles.

Premium Tonewoods and Advanced Body Construction

The chambered mahogany body, solid spruce top, and ultra-thin Ziricote veneer create both a visually compelling instrument and a resonant tonal signature. Custom bracing inside the body enhances projection and reliability on stage, making the guitar suitable for both amplified and acoustic settings.

• Body: Chambered mahogany with custom bracing — designed for resonance and feedback control
• Players appreciate the solid spruce top with Ziricote veneer for warmth, clarity, and remarkable visual appeal.

Electronics and Player Control for Any Venue

Fishman’s system enables this model to shine in both live and studio environments. By blending piezo and internal body sensors using the Body Blend control, musicians access a wide spectrum of nylon-string tones, from percussive attack to lush resonance. Master Volume, EQ, and a 9V battery box are mounted for performance reliability.

• Pickup System: Fishman Stage with body sensors — delivers authentic nylon tone without piezo harshness
