Alhambra guitars

The big name in handmade Spanish classical guitars, flamenco guitars and acoustic guitars

Alhambra Guitars came into being on June 14 1965, in Muro De Alcoy, a town located near to the Mediterranean coast in the province of Alicante, Spain. It evolved from a smaller workshop where the founders of Alhambra had been making guitars by hand for a few years in the same town. 

From the onset, it was always their mission to combine the highest standards of craftsmanship in guitar making with the latest technology, in order to produce the finest handmade classical, flamenco and acoustic guitars in Spain. To this end, they have always given special priority to persuading the most talented craftsmen and craftswomen to dedicate their lives to perfecting their skills at atelier Alhambra. And indeed, many of these master luthiers have spent their entire careers there.

Particular importance is also paid to their research and development department where ideas and projects are continually evolving, as the highly-skilled staff fine-tune new models and processes. The success of years of painstaking experimentation and groundwork is then brought to life in the workshop where Alhambra Guitars consistently produce world-class instruments. And the knowledge aquired in the development of Alhambra's concert models does not just stay there. It is then applied in the building of all of their ranges of guitar, from the student models upwards.

Today Alhambra Guitars enjoy a reputation for outstanding quality, design and sonority. They sell their instruments in 40 countries all over the world.

Alhambra 11P Classical Guitar

$2,174.59

The new 2023 Alhambra 11P concert model fromAlhambra Guitars is made entirely of solid woods: an Indian rosewood body, select fine-grain Western red cedar top and opulent dark ebony fingerboard. Add to that luxury gold-plated high-precision tuning machines and you find yourself with a top of the range instrument, made for the performing artist. The 11P’s fingerboard is longer than that of a standard classical guitar: it goes over the sound hole in order to introduce an additional fret - the 20th fret - which expands the instrument’s range and enables the maestro guitarist to play every musical piece with ease. The green lamina in the binding and inlays adds a delicate sliver of contrasting colour. However, the most important feature of this model is the heel: it is made of 5 separate parts whilst other models are made from a single piece. The individual components of the 11P all come together to produce a powerful, full-bodied sound. And the workmanship here is flawless: the guitar has a classic beauty, fineness of finish and warm aura that comes from from the contrasting woods. The tightness and especially the evenness of the grain in the cedar top is exceptional. Internal ebony reinforcement in the neck of the guitar. Concert size. 20 frets.

The neck of the guitar features an internal ebony reinforcement. Available in senorita size.
