The Alhambra 5P Classical Guitar is a step up from the 4P model in quality. The ebony bracing in the neck prevents warping, and softwood top is equipped with 7 braces that help improve the resonance of the instrument without sacrificing its lightweight or durability. This bracing includes seven braces and two harmonic bars that contribute to the warm, full-bodied tone. (Click here to hear the pronunciation of "Alhambra".)

The Alhambra 5p Classical Guitar represents the genuine Spanish guitar-making tradition that musicians around the world have come to trust. Handcrafted in Spain, this model combines traditional construction methods with carefully selected tonewoods to deliver the warm, resonant sound characteristic of quality classical guitars.
Each Alhambra 5p features a solid cedar top that provides rich, warm tones with excellent projection. The Indian rosewood back and sides complement the cedar top beautifully, adding depth and complexity to the guitar's voice. The mahogany neck supports a traditional rosewood fingerboard that offers comfortable playability for both students and experienced performers.
Alhambra's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this instrument, from the carefully applied finish to the precisely cut nut and saddle that ensure accurate intonation across the fretboard.
The Alhambra 5p strikes an excellent balance between responsiveness and control, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. Whether you're studying classical repertoire, exploring flamenco techniques, or performing contemporary pieces, this guitar delivers consistent, expressive sound that brings your music to life.
Students advancing beyond beginner instruments will appreciate the musical qualities that make practice more rewarding, while teachers and performers value the reliable performance and authentic Spanish character that the 5p brings to any musical context.
Alhambra guitars have been crafted in Spain since 1965, drawing on centuries of Spanish lutherie tradition. The 5p model embodies this heritage while incorporating modern consistency and playability. When you choose an Alhambra 5p, you're connecting with a musical lineage that stretches back through generations of master craftsmen.
Every Alhambra 5p at XGuitars.com receives a comprehensive professional setup. Owner Geoff Ferdón personally inspects and sets up each instrument, ensuring optimal string height, accurate intonation, and comfortable playability. This attention to detail means your guitar performs at its full potential from the moment it arrives.

The guitar sounds amazing! It's my first expensive classical instrument and I very much enjoy playing it daily.
The Alhambra 5P guitar arrived on time in perfect condition in its excellent case. It is a beautiful instrument with a clear, sweet and very audible sound. Playable even for my fumbling fingers as I learn classical style. Thank you for the help you gave me in choosing which instrument to purchase. I am very happy with it and recommend Alhambra and XGuitars to anyone who wants a quality affordable guitar.
I reached out to XGuitars because I was finally ready to buy the guitar of my dreams and I was able to get what I needed without problems, even during these pandemic times. The guitar arrived quickly and I am very pleased with the quality and sound. Special thanks to manager Geoff for helping me out with the guitar.
My guitar arrived promptly and well packed. The upgraded strings are laced well and sound great. Will purchase from xguitars in the future.
