Abasi Concepts and Córdoba® announce the release of the Abasi® Stage 7, a purpose-built nylon string electric guitar engineered from the ground up for electric guitarists seeking authentic nylon tone without the traditional limitations of classical instruments.
Designed with Abasi Concepts on its Larada ergonomic platform and built upon Córdoba’s proven Stage solidbody nylon-string concept, the Abasi Stage 7 redefines what a nylon-string guitar can be in a contemporary performance environment. Rather than adapting a classical instrument for stage use, it was conceived specifically for electrified performance, extended-range clarity, and seamless transition from electric guitar technique.
“At its core, this guitar exists to remove barriers,” said Abasi Concepts. “Electric players are often drawn to the sound of nylon, but held back by feedback, ergonomics, string spacing, or playability. The Abasi Stage 7 was designed to eliminate those obstacles entirely.”
The Abasi Stage 7 features a thin, resonant, extensively chambered mahogany body with custom internal bracing that balances acoustic character with controlled stage performance. This construction minimizes feedback at higher volumes while preserving the organic response expected from nylon strings. Built on the ergonomic foundations of the Larada platform, its sculpted contours and streamlined body depth integrate naturally with the player’s body, whether seated or standing.
Unprecedented for this category, the Abasi Stage 7 offers full 24-fret access with exceptional upper-register reach, enabling modern phrasing, extended techniques, and fluid lead playing rarely associated with nylon-string instruments. Its 7-string multiscale design, tuned B to E, delivers piano-like depth and articulation on the low string while maintaining elasticity, precision, and expressive control on the treble side.
String spacing is intentionally narrower than that of a traditional classical guitar, allowing electric players to transition instinctively without relearning hand mechanics. The result is a nylon-string instrument that feels immediately familiar while opening new sonic territory.
All Abasi Stage 7 guitars are equipped with a bespoke Stage pickup system co-developed by Córdoba and Fishman®. Combining an under-saddle transducer with internal body sensors, the system delivers a natural, balanced nylon-string tone while eliminating the piezo “quack” commonly associated with amplified nylon guitars. A professional-grade preamp with side
mounted Volume, EQ, and Body Blend controls provides precise tonal shaping for live and studio use.
Each model features Córdoba’s Exotic Top design, pairing a solid spruce top with an ultra-thin premium exotic wood veneer to achieve an ideal balance of tone, resonance, and visual depth.
Additional features include a side-mounted oval soundhole, a mahogany flat C-shape set neck with rosewood fingerboard, black top purfling, a Fusion Fan headstock with rosewood overlay and inlaid Córdoba and Abasi logos, a rosewood bridge with bone saddle, and a bone nut.
This collaboration unites Abasi Concepts’ forward-looking design language with Córdoba’s deep expertise in nylon-string construction, manufacturing, and its Stage platform. Together, the two brands have created an instrument that defines a new class of nylon-string guitar, delivering professional-level performance at a price point designed to expand access to this evolving category.
