Abasi Concepts has partnered with Córdoba to launch the Abasi Stage 7, a seven-string nylon-string electric guitar designed for stage and studio use. According to gearnews.com, the instrument is now available for pre-order in Acacia, Ziricote, or White Burst finishes at major retailers including Sweetwater, with estimated delivery times spanning several months.
The source reports that this model results from three years of development aimed at electric guitarists seeking nylon warmth without traditional classical dimensions. Built on the Larada ergonomic platform, the guitar features a chambered mahogany body and solid spruce top to minimize feedback while enhancing low-end response. Gearnews.com notes the design includes a multiscale fretboard with 24 frets and narrower string spacing to facilitate easier transition for electric players.
To address amplified tone issues, the Stage 7 utilizes a custom Fishman pickup system combining under-saddle transducers and internal body sensors, the source states. Controlled via side-mounted volume, EQ, and body blend knobs, the system aims to replicate natural acoustic resonance. Priced at $1,499, the guitar features dual branding and a side-positioned oval sound hole, targeting forward-thinking musicians entering the fretted market.
