Alhambra 8Fc Blanca Flamenco Guitar
The Alhambra 8Fc Blanca Flamenco Guitar is a flamenco blanca guitar, handmade in Spain with carefully selected woods and a high quality sound; powerful, brilliant, great character and with a fascinating projection. The 8Fc is a wonderful guitar with a beautiful and authentically flamenco sound. It is also fully balanced, achieving a consistent tone across the fingerboard and a good balance between bass and treble. (Click here to hear the pronunciation of "Alhambra".)
The 8Fc is a flamenco blanca guitar with very high performance. When you have it in your hands it is simply amazing.
Selected Woods and New Design
The new flamenco guitar 8Fc is a step forward from the 7Fc model, with a better selection of wood, new rosette, and a new headstock design. In addition to the selection of solid cypress for sides and back and a solid German spruce for the top; this guitar is made with an ebony fingerboard, luxury gold machine heads, and an ebony reinforcement on the cedar neck. (The ebony reinforcement which is found inside the neck it cannot be seen on the outside of the guitar. The ebony reinforcement is exactly below the fingerboard and the saddle should be removed to be able to see it.)
An Extra Saddle:
In order to adapt the instrument to the tastes of each guitarist, in the 8Fc model you can vary the action of the strings changing the "bone" of the bridge, the saddle. In the model 8Fc, an extra saddle with different height is added, with the intention of getting a low or somewhat higher action according to the choice of the guitarist, but always being fully adapted to the characteristics of guitar.
The 8Fc is a guitar designed to generate the exact flamenco percussiveness when it is required and to allow for greater comfort in the interpretation of flamenco music.
