If you’re seeking a student-level classical guitar with uncompromising tone, construction, and playability, then look no further than Alhambra’s 1 C HT. Dynamic solid cedar top Since it was first adopted in the mid-20th century, cedar has become the de-facto standard top wood for classical guitars for its warmth and tonal complexity. It’s a perfect choice for straight-ahead classical players, but cedar’s ability to bloom and resonate with even the slightest pluck also makes it an excellent tonewood for crossover jazz players, Latin music, or even steel-string guitarists looking to add a new sound to their tonal palette. What’s more, the 1 C HT’s top is constructed from solid cedar — which is far more resonant than a laminate top, with a depth and beauty that will only continue to improve as the guitar ages. Superb build quality From their student models to their world-class performance instruments, each and every Alhambra guitar is crafted in Spain utilizing traditional building techniques to deliver the highest quality of sound possible. The 1 C HT is no exception, boasting an authentic Spanish heel neck joint that provides superior sound, durability, and neck stability. In addition, the 1 C HT’s mahogany sides produce a clear, ringing tone with a crisp attack and balanced response, perfectly complementing the solid cedar top and resulting in an instrument equally fit for both gentle fingerstyle and lively flamenco. Alhambra: top-shelf tradition since 1965 The construction of each Alhambra instrument starts with the selection of top-shelf raw materials and ends with a commitment to quality and reliability. Between these two important bookends lies a process of dedicated craftsmanship with the specialty of over 110 skilled luthiers, ensuring every instrument is made of the utmost performance and comfort. With over 55 years of experience, Alhambra has continued to embrace the same traditional building practices while incorporating the efficiency of modern methods, equating to a more durable take on authentic sound. At Sweetwater, our staunchest acoustic performers and classical fingerstylists rest easy knowing every Alhambra guitar is designed and built with the same love and care that traditional instruments require.
