Thanks a lot for the insightful review! I’m not sure I would have noticed the difference between the standard stage and the traditional without the video. Really appreciate it
hmmm, since I didn't play on this - did you listen to the dozens of other You tube videos that I do play on? Or are you sharing your witty sarcasm? either way - thanks!
I've bought the Cordoba stage traditional CD. I'm rumba player. This change the game because i can play at high level and thre's no feedback. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great review. I appreciate your honesty, many reviews are just "this guitar is amazing.... here's an affiliate link". Also comparing the similar models (I didn't know about there being 2 either😅) and some of their other guitars was a useful perspective. Thanks again :)
I have 2 of them. One is great - the other not so much. It's the action/relief on the neck. I'll never buy a nylon string again without a truss rod. I'm finnicky. They play nice and sound nice. They travel well. The negatives: I'm used to having a body and the battery has a very short life, especially if you employ the effects. Overall, a great choice.
Thanks for the comparison between the two otherwise pretty similar instruments. You mentioned a couple of times the sleeve-like capos but without model name. Would you kindly do that?
They actually aren't capos - they help mute the open strings - helping especially when amplified. here's a link: www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y0MM43K?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
Sorry for the question barrage but, as a novice and having attempted to learn finger picking of the folksy variety on a steel string guitar but struggling a bit, I'm wondering whether you think the Cordoba Stage would ease some of the finger strength struggles I've had for quite a while. Thanks if you have a moment to respond.
no problem. nylon strings are much easier on the fingers. the neck is (usually) wider, so, you need to take that into account with the left hand. play both, you very well might adjust your preference over time.
Thanks and didn’t know about the 2 models. I have the longer neck version I guess as neck joins the body at the 14th. Since changing strings have lost a bit of relief and loosened a 1/4 turn and now tiniest amount. Is there a recommended spec for the relief do you happen to know - 🙏 and really interesting 😊🎸
good question! sadly, there isn't a simple/singular answer. I believe the guitar ships with hard tension strings - compare that to what you changed them to. the brand matters as well. there are other considerations. good luck!

Excellent guitar playing

Thanks for the info.Did the new saddle fix the buzz?

Nice review. What are your thoughts on the Yamaha SLG200NW as compared to the Stage Traditional?

@@bradard5862 if I understand (as a novice) then one would need a capo to change the key, yes?
correct, make sure you get one the right size for the neck. standard electric guitars have smaller necks
