Alhambra Premier Pro Madagascar Classical guitar

The José Miguel Moreno C guitar series was developed and made in collaboration with guitarist and luthier José Miguel Moreno and is a fine example of one of the most advanced contemporary guitars in the Alhambra catalogue. José Miguel has created an instrument that transmits feeling, as well as precision, balance, power and projection.

As a result of the meticulous design of the bracing, and the superb woods chosen for the top, the José Miguel Moreno C guitar series offers an extraordinary sound response. It is a very obliging instrument and responds beautifully to both a firm and gentle touch. The range of expression is huge and it has astonishing harmonic potential. Intelligence, knowledge, experience, and exquisite woods were the four main ingredients used to design this guitar. Add to that a large pinch of determination: like every other luthier at Alhambra, José Miguel Moreno dedicates his life to the search for perfection.

The instrument itself is exquisite. José Miguel Moreno chose the world-class cedar used for the top, as well as the Indian rosewood for the back and sides. The combination of tones achieves an elegant and modern aesthetic. 

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.

The Camps GL18 guitar 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 GL-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. Guitar case included.
