Alhambra 4F Flamenco Guitar
The Alhambra 4F Flamenco Guitar embodies the passionate spirit of flamenco music through traditional Spanish craftsmanship. Handmade in Spain by skilled luthiers, this instrument delivers the bright, percussive voice that defines authentic flamenco sound.
Flamenco-Focused Tonewoods
The 4F features a solid European spruce top that produces the crisp, immediate response essential for flamenco techniques.
