Manufacturas Alhambra introduced a new professional model in last edition of Musikmesse fair in Frankfurt.
The new model is called “Línea Professional” and its construction has been made thinking of all those professionals and students who play the guitar many hours diary.
The most important features are: a new neck’s design which provides better playability and comfort and we have also added the same bracing pattern of the Luthier models. We must say that we have chosen the best woods in order to make this new model and we think it will be a good option for both professional and students.
The Línea Profesional model can be made of solid Spruce or Cedar top and the back and side are made of solid Indian Rosewood.These guitars have a very similar sound and construction to the Luthier India and Rio and are assembled and finished by the master luthiers, Javier Mengual and José Margarít. The neck profile is slightly thinner, so they have a bit of an easier feel to them than do the other luthier models.
We do not yet have stock on these guitars, but do have a shipment on the way and will have stock soon. The demand for these worldwide has been very great, so the supply is limited. If you’d like to reserve one or more, please let me know. We have three in spruce and two in cedar on their way to us.
Picking your new Alhambra Classical Guitar is a very important decision, it is like choosing your perfect partner in life! So you are welcome to browse through the models and select the features that match your expectations.
Handmade in Spain with the finest wood from around the world,
your new Alhambra Classical Guitar is a dream instrument to perform your talent.
