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.

Love it!

This is a beautiful guitar and the 7/8 size, which was difficult to find, is outsanding, particularly for smaller hands. Geoff's excellent setup of the instrument prepared it for its performances ahead. The personalized service was absolutely awesome. Reconnecting with Geoff and X-Guitars for other acquisitions is an imperative.

Great choice!

I’m very pleased with the 9P Senorita. I like the7/8 size. It doesn’t lack in sound. The resonance is deep, and the volume and sustain of notes is very good, with excellent balance. It’s a beautiful guitar too, with lovely woods, tuners, and rosette colors that seem to match the Christmas season. I’m really glad I made this choice, and with the form-fitting case. The action is set from the factory a little high for my preference, but Geoff is remedying this with a custom saddle and nut that should make it just right. Thank you XGuitars and Geoff! I will continue shopping there.

Charming Señorita !

Had a trip to Spain planned for 2020 to find a guitar, but that was cancelled, and now I'm so pleased to have purchased the` Alhambra Señorita guitar from XGuitars !
I had felt for a while that I would be more comfortable with a slightly smaller instrument. With the Señorita I have more of an embrace with the guitar, plus my emotional feeling for the songs seem to come through easily. So heartwarming.
The fragrance of the solid Red Cedar Top is earthy. The quality of sound , and resonance is wonderful. All notes ring true, and are not lost, There is no compromise with the smaller scale, and is a step up & new chapter in my guitar adventure The base notes are strong & harmonics have good bell tones.
The case was expertly fitted for the Señorita size.
Geoff was wonderful with his thoughtful responses to my questions and concerns. He shipped very soon after my purchase, I was thrilled ! Thank you Geoff !
Definitely recommend XGuitars !

Lovely Guitar

Received my Senorita two weeks ago. I wanted to upgrade from my Cordoba C10 to what should be my last guitar purchase. I had gotten some very helpful advice from Geoff about some full sized guitar options but after playing the Cordoba with a capo on the first fret for a few weeks I decided a shorter scale would suit me better in the long run, developing thumb arthritis and some finger stiffness. Very few quality short scale guitars on the market but on paper the Senorita had the features I wanted: Made in Spain, all solid woods, lacquered cedar top, cedar neck, good reviews, and very pretty - all the good stuff. And it did not disappoint. It looks lovely and sounds lovely. Beautifully made. Clear, clean, piano-like tones and very easy to play. But also very unforgiving which is a good thing. Clean, separated tones make it harder to hide mistakes and sloppiness. This guitar will make me a better player. I also opted for the Alhambra Senorita case: very good fit, very nice, and well worth it. Finally restrung with Savarez high tension strings for a much nicer sound than the originals. Very happy with this guitar and Geoff's fast, helpful service

Perfect for me.

I have a number of high quality guitars. I needed one to fit my small fingers and shorter harms. This is a perfect fit for me. The sound is very bright and even too happy for my mellow style of Bossa nova playing. Jeff has been instrumental in advising me in how to get the sound to mellow a little. The more I play this new fine guitar, the more I like and enjoy it. It is definitely a 5 star guitar. I am going to play it everyday.
