Extremely happy customer here! This guitar is turning out to be absolutely perfect for me and was exactly what I was looking for. Im not a classical player but i have dabbled with all things guitar since I was a youngster and ive always wanted a nice classical guitar. I didn't need something top of the line and overly expensive and I didn't want something cheap and mass produced. So this Alhambra is perfect! It's exactly what I needed. The overall quality of the instrument is superb. Many years ago I worked for one of the biggest guitar manufacturers around, doing refinishing and repair work. So im familiar with inspection and quality processes. This Alhambra guitar is very well built and with nice woods and materials. It plays and sounds wonderful! In fact, I can easily say that overall, the build quality, playability and sound...all exceeded my expectations. And thats what always pleases me the most, when you take a chance on a new guitar and it surprises you with exceptional quality that goes beyond your expectations. If you are unsure about the Alhambra brand, dont worry...they make wonderful guitars!
It also comes with a really nice full size soft case and its of nice quality as well. Not cheap junk.
The onboard tuner and pickup/eq are really nice and go well with the Fishman Loudbox Artist Amp. Thats what im playing it thru and it sounds awesome! A perfect setup!
And last but not least, XGuitars gives you a nice, professional setup and inspection on the instrument before they ship it to you. My guitar arrived undamaged and in perfect condition. It sounded and played absolutely perfect right out of the box. The complementary setup is such a nice bonus and greatly appreciated.
Please support small business and consider purchasing from XGuitars. They have provided me a wonderful guitar and would definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you Geoff!
