The Alhambra model 1C

Back by popular demand, we just received the 2012 new shipment of model 1C, solid red cedar, mahogany back/side, single maple binding at top. This shipment is fresh direct flight from Muro del Alcoy, Alhambra town in Spain to Luthier Guitar Sgp just after Chinese new year holiday. The latest 2012 shipment offers the most updated version of this beginner model.

And we are taking orders from local schools, neighbouring countries in South East Asia and walk-in clientele who want to own their first Spain made classic guitar, I think this is the right choice for beginners who want to get their first taste of a Spain made guitar.

Model 1C is a simple Spain classic guitar, inner top bracing is 3 fins Torres style bracing, enabling maximal fibration of the guitar top when you pluck any strings. The simple 3 fins bracings have super light advantages on the top, easier of manufacturing process allow the guitar sound hole to project the sound as much as possible without too many burden on the top. The plus point, the sound output is so loud, the disadvantage factors are : due to low entry model, every notes are produced loudly but somehow maybe a little bit lack of character and producing ringing notes at higher than fret 12 position maybe a challange for simple 3 fins bracings architecture. The trade off is lower price point, the most value for money Spain made guitar is here !.

 

The 2012 new shipment of Model 1C :    we just received these solid cedar top model 1C naturally have light amber color tone with sharp & evenly nice grains. I am very pleased to have these good grains on the cheapest model of Alhambra, combine it with the nice Rosette color, it will be good for your investment too.

 

If you look for a more refine all round tone character with enough ample of head-room for your classic tone coloring then it is time to skip this model 1C and jump to my guitar anatomy analyses belong to Alhambra model 4P A (new 2012 solid spruce top).

However, the 1C do a good job for beginners at this price tag.
