A Great Balance of Form and Function

Cordoba's Fusion Orchestra CE acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar gives you the full-bodied sound and projection provided by the orchestra body style, with the convenient fret access allowed by its single cutaway. You'll love the sound of the Orchestra CE's Canadian cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides. And while the sound is big and robust, the Orchestra CE plays fast and smooth thanks to its narrower 1-7/8" mahogany neck and 16" radius ebony fingerboard. Of course, Cordoba's attention to detail goes beyond the sound and feel of the guitar. The elegant Orchestra CE features a hand-inlayed rosette, light mahogany binding, and maple and ebony purfling for a stunning look. Whether you want a great looking and playing acoustic, or need a dependable acoustic-electric for playing live, you won't regret getting the Cordoba Fusion Orchestra CE acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar.

Fishman electronics

Your Cordoba Orchestra CE comes with a built-in Fishman Presys Blend pickup system for great plugged-in tone. Whether you're playing live or just want an easy way to record, you'll love how the Fishman Presys Blend system picks up every nuance of your performance. It even features a built-in tuner so you'll always sound your best.

Premium tonewoods

While the Fusion Cordoba Orchestra CE is inexpensive for its class, Cordoba did not sacrifice quality materials. The Indian rosewood back and sides set a powerful tonal foundation for the solid Canadian cedar top, giving you the right balance of warmth and brightness. The neck is solid mahogany, for maximum transfer of string energy to the cedar top. An ebony fingerboard and rosewood bridge complete the elegant look.

Great looks and feel

The Fusion Cordoba Orchestra CE is gorgeous to simply look at, from the detailed hand-inlayed rosette and maple binding to the silver tuners with ebony buttons. And you'll love how the gloss finish shows off the Indian rosewood body and Canadian cedar top. But looks aren't everything - the Orchestra CE was designed with playability in mind, and the great look is just the icing on the classical cake.

Cordoba Fusion Orchestra CE Acoustic-electric Nylon-string Guitar Features:

  • Robust-sounding guitar that plays fast and smooth for an exceptional playing experience
  • Built-in Fishman Presys Blend pickup for natural sounding plugged-in performance
  • Premium, solid red cedar top for maximum tonality
  • Classic construction by Cordoba makes sure you'll enjoy playing this guitar for years to come

Amazing playability!

My wife bought this guitar for me 3yrs ago and I haven't been able to stop playing it since she brought it home. I have another Cordoba and a Martin nylon string and the Orchestra CE is easily my favorite of the three. Its playability is completely unmatched in any crossover under the $ price point and I've played them all. I could not be happier with this gift and how this guitar sounds three years later.

Extremely fun to play.

The Cordoba Fusion 12, Orchestra CE is a beautiful guitar in sound, looks, and playability! The neck is thin and the action is appropriate for various playing styles. I am impressed with the adjustable sweet tone and volume control. Having the tuner built-in is a major plus. When it is engaged the signal is cut so that my audience doesn't hear me tuning. I find that I can play quick passages much faster and further up the neck (because of the cut out) on this instrument than on my traditional ($1,200) classical guitar. In addition, the weight balance is perfect. The only down side is the inability to attach a strap to the heel because there is not enough wood in the design. (However, after much thinking, studying, and praying I figured out a way to do it and so now I can play standing as if I were sitting, but you'll have to figure that one out for yourself.)
Music background: I studied guitar as an elective in grade school for three years. I also studied the piano for a few years. I earned a BA at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Classical Guitar Performance in 1989. I earned an MA at Liberty University in Worship Studies wit

Love this guitar

I bought this guitar mostly based on reviews. I wanted a nylon string for recording that sounded more balanced than the sort of tubby sounding Yamaha I have. This is exactly what I was hoping for! It's fun to play and sounds great plugged in as well. Built in tuner is nice. I highly recommend it.

Do it!

So I've the last 10 months or so, I've been accumulating gear through my Sales Engineer, Matt Emick. We were talking about a month ago and I mentioned that my next buy would probably be a classical guitar but I want to wait until I have the $ to afford a really good one. Matt said something to the effect that I should not rule out the Cordoba Fusion guitars. I said I'd like to have something from the America's or Spain. Matt's reply to that was that I would be amazed by the quality control coming out of China, and I should not write off this guitar. Well, I kept coming back to this guitar so I finally bought it last week and it showed up on Friday. Let me tell you, this thing is built with GREAT PRECISION! The sound is HUGE! I can't wait until I'm a little further along in my classical training, and I move onto flamenco as well. I will be buying another Cordoba when the time comes! Matt also let me know that in buying the Cordoba Humicase, it also gave me a limited lifetime warranty on the guitar! Thanks again, Matt!
Music background: Been playing music since 1987. Played in a couple bands in Los Angeles from 2006-2008…just kinda jam in Duluth again.
