Get to know them!





Guitarists wanting to make the jump from a steel-string to a nylon-string instrument will find much to love in the Cordoba Fusion 5 acoustic guitar. This no-nonsense instrument has been designed to offer incredible comfort, outstanding tone, and top-level playability. The Fusion 5 features a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides for a stellar blend of pristine highs, balanced mids, and rich low end. The mahogany neck with pau ferro fingerboard offers incredible playability and smooth response, and the deep cutaway gives you easy access to those harder-to-reach notes up the neck. And when you're ready to plug in, a Fishman Sonitone pickup system delivers gorgeous amplified acoustic tone.





Fishman Sonitone pickups: tone you can trust





The Fishman Sonitone pickup system inside the Fusion 5 includes an under-saddle piezo that delivers impeccable high-output amplification for the stage and studio. And for unique access, the Sonitone puts the volume and tone controls directly and discreetly in the soundhole ? a feature guitarists here at Sweetwater found especially intuitive.

Neck designed for comfort





To make the transition from a standard steel-string guitar to a classical guitar a little easier, Cordoba designed the Fusion neck with a 16-inch radius fretboard and smaller 1-7/8-inch nut width. The result is a feel that is close to a standard steel-string guitar while providing a genuine classical guitar experience.
