Cordoba Fusion 5 | Electro – Jet Black

The Fusion 5 is a solid top, cutaway electro guitar from Cordoba’s Fusion line.  The purpose of this series is to offer a nylon-strung guitar to a player that prefers a thinner neck profile than a traditional classical guitar and also sports a radiused fingerboard.

The top of the guitar is made from solid spruce and features mahogany back and sides.  This is a classic choice for nylon-strung guitars and with good reason – it sounds great!  As mentioned, the guitar features a slim neck and the nut width is 48mm as opposed to a more traditional 50.8mm.  The neck joins the body at the 12th fret.  This gives a beautiful and mellow sound yet access to the higher frets is still easy due to the cutaway.

This guitar is an excellent balance between traditional woods combined and modern design.  The rosette is a pearl style, the body is bound in and the guitar has a gloss-finish – this all amounts to tremendous value for money.  The guitar also includes Fishman’s Sonitone Classical pickup system.  Fishman are a leading brand for pickups and preamps for guitars and the Sonitone has discreetly mounted soundhole controls so that a hole does not need to be cut from the side of the guitar.
