Prudencio Saez 4-PS (1963) Classical Guitar

Jose Maria Vilaplana (JMV) has been the master luthier at Alhambra for more than 35 years; he started building guitars with his father when he was only 16 years old, and is one of the founders of Alhambra guitars. There are several models built by him and they are sold under his name as signature guitars, rather than under the Alhambra name. 

A maestro of great patience, JMV dedicated much time analyzing the past history of guitar making, as well as investigating the present moment of this noble art, with the objective of designing the finest of instruments imaginable. Following in the footsteps of the brilliant guitarist and luthier from Málaga, Antonio Torres, he succeeded in his objective, with his JMV Serie NT: this instrument has a breath-taking sound quality, which is all-enveloping and both powerful and delicate. It is no surprise that this is the instrument of choice of many of the world’s greatest performers.

The José María Vilaplana Serie NT features solid red cedar top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, Spanish cedar neck, (internally reinforced with ebony), and luxurious gold-plated head tuners. Exquisite French polish finish. A very exclusive guitar for the most exacting guitarist. Alhambra by BAM guitar case 9568 included. Alhambra by BAM AB ICONIC 9270 as an option.

Guitar Camps CL-18, Classical Guitar. The Camps CL18 is a concert model made with solid woods and the finest materials, embellished with delicate light and dark accents. The craftsmanship is flawless. This model is fast responding and has a superbly balanced sound, open in all registers. The CL-18 is very comfortable to play and contains a truss rod inside the neck which protects it from warping. Available in solid cedar or solid spruce top, the back and sides are made of solid Indian Rosewood. Guitar case included.

The Alhambra Luthier Aniversario guitar is at the top of the series of 50th Anniversary commemorative models made to celebrate Alhambra Guitars’ half century, some ten years ago now. The new Luthier model features a solid cedar top and a breathtaking solid ziricote body which gives it a vibrant personality and unusual beauty. The sound is superb: an unparalelled harmonic richness combined with precise tuning make it the perfect instrument to grace any auditorium or concert hall in the world. Lush rosewood headstock, ebony fingerboard, luxury tuners, and detail on the bridge to match the rosette. This is a limited-edition guitar, and is an excellent opportunity for collectors. Every Alhambra Luthier Aniversario guitar is unique: the patterns in the wood are exclusive to each instrument. Case included. Optional: Alhambra 9650 and 9270 ICONIC.

Jose Ramirez 140 Years Spruce Classical Guitar

Some guitars are chosen for their materials; others for the history behind their name. With Jose Ramirez, the two belong together. More than 140 years of Spanish guitar making and five generations of a family tradition provide the background to an instrument made for the music you want to play today.

Spruce brings a clear, direct and bright tonal character. The solid top is paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides. It is a combination for players looking for an instrument with its own identity, whether working patiently through a demanding piece or returning to a favourite melody simply for the pleasure of playing.

The full classical body preserves the familiar outline of the Spanish guitar. It invites advanced students and committed players to spend time with their sound: shaping a phrase, balancing melody and accompaniment, and developing an interpretation that feels their own.

An ebony fingerboard and 650 mm scale are complemented by a cedar neck, Indian rosewood bridge and polyurethane finish. Designed by Ramirez and made in Spain, the guitar is checked and adjusted at the Ramirez workshop before distribution.

For amplified playing, choose from the electronics options listed on this page; the version without electronics keeps the instrument purely acoustic. A Ramirez to accompany serious practice, new musical ideas and the everyday pleasure of getting to know a guitar. Guitar case included.

Camps CL20 Classical Guitar. This sublime instrument belongs to the series of top-of-the-line handmade signature guitars made by Hermanos Camps at their atelier in northern Spain. This elegant classical guitar is made from fine solid exotic ebony back and sides which contrasts beautifully with the stunning ebony neck. The Camps CL20 produces a tone which is clear and steady in all registers, and is superbly balanced. Excellent projection and sustain, low action and no buzzing. 
Worth mentioning is the comfort and smoothness of the neck, which enhance the playability of this world-class model. This guitar now has a new and more comfortable fingerboard with new additional features:
- Both edges have an elegant white maple and black benu border. Guitar case included.

Superb value for money.
