3 layers of varnish make this guitar looking so good — unbeliveable for the price!!!
What makes Alhambra guitars alluring is that their native sound so effortlessly captures the evocative, romantic, and proud spirit of the music of Spain. The Alhambra sound is earthy, full, warm, direct and full of character and personality. It is a voice that gives authentic expression to the charm and passion indigenous to the music of its homelandMellow sound, fun to strum, easy differentiation between strings when finger-picking; you even can flat-picking “a la Willie Nelson”!
A loud and clear sound strikes you, along with a much larger range of tonal possiblities than any competitiors’ model.
Here is the best selling Alhambra.
4 layers of light varnish highlight the solid Red Western Cedar top and a gorgeous one-sided Rosewood laminate on back and side.
The fingerboard is made of gorgeous Ebony!
You notice the Machine heads (aka tuning keys, tuners) are superior quality. They allow you smooth and precise tuning. Ebony knobs… wow… Really high class!
The soundboard – major influence on the guitar’s sound – consists of a thin piece of softwood that is supported by 7 braces like the Iberia.
2 harmonic bars at the bottom will enhance a full-bodied, warm and rich sound.
The important qualities of such woods include a close grain count and high stiffness to mass ratio (allows maximum output for the minimum input), resilience, light weight and resonance.
Beautifully hand-crafted in Spain with a lashy handmade inlaid wood Rosette proves all the attention from the Alhambra Guitar Makers.
