Description

Discover the Alhambra 10FC Blanca Flamenco Guitar

The Alhambra 10FC Blanca Flamenco Guitar represents the authentic voice of flamenco, crafted with traditional Spanish techniques in Alhambra's renowned workshop. This instrument combines generations of guitar-making expertise with modern refinements to deliver the characteristic bright, percussive sound that flamenco demands.

With its solid European spruce top and cypress back and sides, the 10FC Blanca produces the crisp, immediate response and distinctive snap that flamenco players seek. The lightweight construction allows for maximum resonance and projection, ensuring your playing cuts through in any performance setting.

Traditional Flamenco Design and Features

The Alhambra 10FC stays true to traditional flamenco guitar design with its lower action and flat fingerboard, allowing for the quick, precise fingering that flamenco technique requires. The guitar features a slightly thinner body than classical models, contributing to its distinctive bright tone and enhanced playability.

Cypress back and sides deliver the warm, woody midrange that characterizes the flamenco blanca sound, while the solid spruce top ensures clarity and definition. The transparent tap plate (golpeador) protects the top while allowing the beauty of the wood grain to show through.

Craftsmanship That Honors Tradition

Each Alhambra 10FC is handcrafted in Spain by luthiers who understand the specific requirements of flamenco guitar construction. From the careful selection of tonewoods to the precise bracing patterns that enhance projection, every aspect of the guitar's design serves the distinctive flamenco sound.

The guitar's cedar neck provides stability and comfort, topped with an ebony fingerboard that offers smooth, fast playability. Traditional wooden pegs maintain the authentic aesthetic while providing reliable tuning stability.

The Voice of Authentic Flamenco

When you play the Alhambra 10FC, you'll immediately notice the characteristic "bark" and percussive attack that define flamenco guitar tone. The guitar responds beautifully to rasgueados, picados, and alzapúa techniques, with enough projection to compete with dancers and percussion in a traditional cuadro flamenco setting.

The bright, direct sound offers excellent note separation, allowing complex falsetas to ring through with clarity. Whether you're accompanying singers and dancers or performing solo, the 10FC delivers authentic flamenco voice with remarkable expressiveness.

Professional Setup for Immediate Playability

At XGuitars, every Alhambra 10FC is personally inspected and set up by owner Geoff Ferdón before shipping. Among other things, he adjusts the action, relief, and string height to match traditional flamenco specifications, ensuring the guitar arrives ready for performance. This attention to detail means you can focus on your art rather than struggling with instrument adjustments.

Experience the passion and fire of authentic flamenco with the Alhambra 10FC Blanca—a guitar that honors tradition while offering the reliability and consistency today's musicians demand.

An Absolutely Stunning Guitar and Phenomenal Service by Geoff at XGuitars

1. I recently received my new Alhambra 10FC Flamenco Guitar from XGuitars. It arrived nicely packed & in perfect condition. I gave it the appropriate 6 hours to come up to room temperature before opening it up which was great advice. 2. Tuned it up and ran it through a few Sor and Aguado studies; Packington's Pound; and even Metallica's Unforgiven (Classical version). At a summary level, this guitar is absolutely stunning and XGuitars is not getting it back! :) 3. Everything I played was better than I've ever played before. Geoff may recall that I have a slight hand tremor so everything is a bit of a challenge for me, BUT not so much with this Alhambra. Amazing! Perfect fretting was a breeze, no noisy string/fret stuff, gorgeous sound, and very comfortable to play. 4. The neck is just super comfortable. Not sure why it is so good but it reminds me of the first time my guitar instructor let me play his pro-level Les Paul where I found the Gibson so much easier to fret, play, etc. than my Custom-Shop Strat (with a smaller neck). Whatever the magic is with this neck I am so impressed because it instantly made me a better/more accurate player with no extra effort. 5. Tuners: Who ever thought that tuners could be so good!!?? And so gorgeous in gold with black/ebony knobs. Truly the best tuners I've ever had, a delight to use, and a pleasure to look at. 6. Rosette: Drop dead gorgeous. Nothing else needs to be said. 7. Fantastic looking guitar that is finished beautifully. Everything is perfect and exquisitely finished. 8. Sound: Super nice. Can't wait to record the guitar a few times so I can listen to how truly beautiful this guitar sounds. I imagine that when I change the strings to the Savarez brand that the sound will be a bit louder and even more stunning. 9. Really appreciate all of Geoff's advice on the selection of this guitar. He really set it up perfectly and I know that I'll get years of fun out of this beauty. 10. I also need to let potential customers know that Geoff is not just some guy selling guitars on the Internet. Rather, he is a highly skilled working musician and luthier, he has a degree in classical guitar (+ Engineering!), studied Flamenco and Classical guitar in Spain so he really knows what he is talking about, and he used to be the VP of Alhambra in the USA. And finally let me add that Geoff is an absolute gentleman who will help 'steer you in the right direction' on procuring a guitar. Oh, I liked this guitar transaction and Geoff's professionalism that I bought another guitar from him a week later! Thanks Geoff!
