The Alhambra 7FC Blanca Flamenco Guitar is a handmade flamenco blanca guitar with a beautiful solid cypress back and sides. Tremendous, genuine, brilliant and percussive are some of the adjectives that define the 7Fc. An instrument with an impressive flamenco sound, constant tone and definition in the melody. It is also fully balanced, both in power as well as in the relation between bass and treble. (Click here to hear the pronunciation of "Alhambra".)
The 7Fc is an instrument of the line of conservatory, with a low level of hardness and the quality that guarantees Manufacturas Alhambra. A very comfortable white flamenco guitar which will meet the demands of a flamenco interpreter.
EBONY REINFORCEMENT ON NECK
Besides the solid cypress back and sides and top solid European spruce, this guitar incorporates ebony on the fingerboard, gold plated machine heads and ebony reinforcement on the neck. In the process of making the Alhambra guitars, the ebony reinforcement is placed inside the neck and it is not visible at simple sight. In order to see the ebony piece, the saddle must be removed. The reinforcement is located just under the fingerboard.
AN EXTRA SADDLE
Each guitar player has a way of playing, which means that within the same model there will be variations. In this case, it is possible to change the action of the strings by changing the saddle bone. The model 7 Fc comes with two saddles with different height, to get a lower or higher action, already adapted to the guitar. A guitar designed to generate the correct percussiveness when the guitar player requires it and to allow the greater comfort in the interpretation. Both, the saddle and the nut are made of melamine, this material is highly conductive of the sound and it helps to balance the sound in the instrument.
I wanted to buy a flamenco blanca guitar and decided on the Alhambra 7FC. Although the 10FC was my second choice, I found that the 7FC projected more than the 10FC, had the flamenco sound I was looking for, and cost less. If I were going to play solo on stage, I might have spent the money and chosen the 10FC.
XGuitars provides excellent service, and it ships fast. I like that they inspect the guitars. That is waht you want form an online store!
This is a great guitar. Hand-made in Spain by one of the finest classical and flamenco guitar manufacturers in the world, solid German spruce top and Spanish cypress back and sides.
I believe the Alhambra 7fc flamenco guitar is the finest flamenco guitar in its class whose quality rivals guitars sold for hundreds of dollars more.
With its low action, lean neck and fingerboard profile and tight build, I've found the guitar's highly versatile, serving not only as a great flamenco guitar but excellent playing styles including jazz and blues.
Like my Alhambra 7c classical guitar, the guitar is a pleasure to play, vibrantly articulating every note across the register, from deep bases to bright trebles.
In making my purchase, I found XGuitars to be the best retailer I've worked with. I consider Geoff to be an authority on classical and flamenco guitars, not only experienced in the industry but also as a classically trained musician.
While making my purchase, he helped me determine the type of action I wanted. Later, he wonderfully set up my guitar before making me an extra bone saddle, which he threw in at no cost. As part of my purchase, he substituted an Alhambra gig bag for a discounted professional-grade TKL hard-shell case.
I highly recommend Geoff and XGuitars for the purchase of great quality guitars.
Xguitars was exceptionally communicative in the ordering process and my beautiful guitar (since named Blondie) came with no hassle and in perfect condition. I'm really looking forward to getting another guitar from this dude.
I ordered the Alhambra from Xguitars because I wanted to make sure it would not have any defects or damage. It arrived fast and in excellent condition . Buying the F4 next from Xguitars!
Not only am I really happy with my guitar, but also with the service. It is explicitly evident that Geoff has a passion for this business, and the entire transaction was a pleasure. I will definitely shop here again, and I would advise all fellow musicians to do the same!
