Description

The Alhambra 1C HT Señorita 7/8 Size Classical Guitar is an excellent choice for the beginning classical guitar player who wants to take things seriously. This guitar is unbeatable in its price range. (Click here to hear the pronunciation of "Alhambra".)

NOTE: The photos show the full size version of the 1C

An entry level instrument to start in the study of the guitar with very good performances, a perfect finish, quality woods, and lightweight Right out of the box, this guitar surprises by its quality and by the characteristics of its materials. Handmade with selected woods, the 1C model is made with a solid Cedar top and Mahogany back and sides, beautiful woods that make up this Spanish guitar. The finish is careful to provide an elegant instrument. Elements such as nickel-plated machine heads, the fingerboard of Indian Rosewood, and the binding on top define a beautiful and stylized guitar.

DESIGN AND COMFORT
The string action and the choice of the frets make the 1C model very comfortable, an instrument very suitable for the beginning in the study of the art of the guitar. Comfort together with sound and a nice aesthetic appearance reward the student efforts of the art of classical guitar.

POWERFUL SOUND
Although the 1C model is an entry level guitar, designed primarily for students and with a good value for money, we discover a guitar with volume and high capacity to define the sound. The saddle and nut are made of melamine, a synthetic material which highly transmitting the sound and contributing to a round and defined sound.

In short, the 1C model is a student guitar with very good performance and the more you play it, the better it sounds.

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.

Fantastic guitar and experience!

I've been playing guitar for nearly 50 years, mostly consistently, and consider myself intermediate-to-advanced level for fingerstyle and aspiring next to solid intermediate for classical. Finally, after a lengthy time in need, I've upgraded from my budget nylon-string thanks to Geoff and XGuitars. Specifically, I've been interested in Alhambra for some time and this model was the perfect choice, in the perfect size, to spark me back into playing regularly. Geoff was exceptional in answering my numerous questions about the guitar, despite its lesser value compared to most others for sale here, and in helping me choose the best accessories and strings (I decided on Savarez 510MRJP New Crystal Alliance Cantiga Mixed Tension, great sound with desired comfortability). The shipment arrived very well-cared for by UPS, and the packaging was top-notch. The guitar and gig bag are pristine and everything for the setup was done per my instructions. As a discerning customer, I highly recommend this guitar, for those of smaller stature that are looking to start out with a very nice instrument for the price, and doing business with XGuitars. I'll definitely be back when it's time for me to upgrade once again. Many thanks, Geoff and staff! :)
