All guitars at XGuitars are kept at the perfect humidity and temperature to prevent hidden cracks, sharp frets, warped necks, etc.

Description

The Alhambra 5P Classical Guitar is a step up from the 4P model in quality. The ebony bracing in the neck prevents warping, and softwood top is equipped with 7 braces that help improve the resonance of the instrument without sacrificing its lightweight or durability. This bracing includes seven braces and two harmonic bars that contribute to the warm, full-bodied tone. (Click here to hear the pronunciation of "Alhambra".)

Alhambra Deluxe Soft Case Included


Recommended Strings: This guitar comes with D'Addario EXP44 Extra Hard Tension strings installed.  These are not bad strings, but don't allow the guitar to live up to its full potential.  I recommend the following strings for this guitar:

Carbon: My favorite strings of all I've tried are Savarez Alliance set 540J. These strings provide great volume and resonance.  Being Carbon, they are a bit thinner in diameter than nylon strings. The tone is brighter and not as mellow as nylon strings. If you want a softer sound, nylon may suit you better.

Nylon: For nylon strings, I really like Savarez Corum New Cristal set 500CJ strings.  They provide a nice round tone, good volume, and a comfortable feel.

If you would like to have strings installed other than the ones that come with your guitar, you can add the Strings Installation Service to your order.

Alhambra 5p Classical Guitar

The Alhambra 5p Classical Guitar represents the genuine Spanish guitar-making tradition that musicians around the world have come to trust. Handcrafted in Spain, this model combines traditional construction methods with carefully selected tonewoods to deliver the warm, resonant sound characteristic of quality classical guitars.

Exceptional Craftsmanship

Each Alhambra 5p features a solid cedar top that provides rich, warm tones with excellent projection. The Indian rosewood back and sides complement the cedar top beautifully, adding depth and complexity to the guitar's voice. The mahogany neck supports a traditional rosewood fingerboard that offers comfortable playability for both students and experienced performers.

Alhambra's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this instrument, from the carefully applied finish to the precisely cut nut and saddle that ensure accurate intonation across the fretboard.

Versatile Performance

The Alhambra 5p strikes an excellent balance between responsiveness and control, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. Whether you're studying classical repertoire, exploring flamenco techniques, or performing contemporary pieces, this guitar delivers consistent, expressive sound that brings your music to life.

Students advancing beyond beginner instruments will appreciate the musical qualities that make practice more rewarding, while teachers and performers value the reliable performance and authentic Spanish character that the 5p brings to any musical context.

Spanish Heritage

Alhambra guitars have been crafted in Spain since 1965, drawing on centuries of Spanish lutherie tradition. The 5p model embodies this heritage while incorporating modern consistency and playability. When you choose an Alhambra 5p, you're connecting with a musical lineage that stretches back through generations of master craftsmen.

Beautiful guitar

The Alhambra 5P guitar arrived on time in perfect condition in its excellent case. It is a beautiful instrument with a clear, sweet and very audible sound. Playable even for my fumbling fingers as I learn classical style. Thank you for the help you gave me in choosing which instrument to purchase. I am very happy with it and recommend Alhambra and XGuitars to anyone who wants a quality affordable guitar.
