The Alhambra 5PA is a Conservatory model from Alhambra Guitars. The solid spruce soundboard of this Spanish classical guitar produces a full-bodied, warm and rich sound. The construction of this model has been enhanced to provide a more robust body with exceptional responsiveness.
With four layers of varnish, an exquisite ebony fingerboard, first-class tuners and Indian rosewood back and sides. The qualities of the woods used include a close grain count and high stiffness to mass ratio, which allow maximum output for the minimum input, and contribute to its resilience, light weight and resonance. Beautifully hand-made in Spain, with an inlaid wooden rosette, this guitar is the perfect example of the love the Alhambra guitar makers have for their craft. The neck of the guitar features an internal ebony reinforcement. The resonance box the 5PA features a unique bracing system of a thin wooden strip supported by seven bars with two wings at the bottom. This construction system contributes to a stronger, yet lighter instrument, as well as improving the sound, giving it more body, warmth and richness. The melamine saddle and nut contribute to the powerful and well-defined sound transmission that is consistent along the fretboard. Alhambra Gig Bag included.
