The Alhambra 7P Cedar Classical Guitar is all-solid and handmade in Spain. It is designed similarly to the classic Alhambra models from 70’s, but has been revivified using new technologies and superior quality woods. The body of this instrument is constructed using cedar for the top and Indian rosewood for the back and sides. The neck is made from African mahogany and reinforced with ebony, which can be seen with a mirror or by removing the nut. The nut and the saddle are made from Melamine, which is an excellent transmitter of sound and known to enhance projection. With golden machine heads and an exquisite rosette, this guitar is a polished & refined representation of the classic Alhambra instrument. (Click here to hear the pronunciation of "Alhambra".)
For an even richer sound, we highly recommend the Alhambra 8P or Alhambra 9P. These models have a lacquer finish on the top and an innovative cross bracing system, both giving more resonance to the guitar by allowing the top to move more freely.
Recommended Strings: This guitar comes with D'Addario EXP44 Extra Hard Tension strings installed. These are not bad strings, but don't allow the guitar to live up to its full potential. I recommend the following strings for this guitar:

The Alhambra 7P Classical Guitar represents the perfect balance of tradition and craftsmanship. Handmade in Spain by skilled luthiers, this instrument delivers the warm, rich tones that classical guitarists seek, with the responsive playability that professionals demand.
Each Alhambra 7P is crafted in Muro de Alcoy, Spain, where Alhambra has been perfecting the art of guitar making since 1965. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this instrument, from the carefully selected tonewoods to the impeccable finish work.
The 7P features a solid cedar top that produces warm, rich tones with excellent projection. The Indian rosewood back and sides complement the cedar top perfectly, adding depth and complexity to the guitar's voice. The Spanish cedar neck provides stability and comfort, while the ebony fingerboard ensures smooth, precise playability.
With its traditional Spanish neck profile and 650mm scale length, the Alhambra 7P offers comfortable playability for classical techniques. The 52mm nut width provides ample space for complex fingerings, while the bone nut and saddle enhance sustain and tonal clarity.
The 7P showcases traditional Spanish guitar aesthetics with its high-gloss finish and natural wood rosette. Premium gold-plated tuning machines with amber buttons add a touch of refinement while ensuring precise and stable tuning.
Every Alhambra 7P at XGuitars.com undergoes a comprehensive professional setup before shipping. Owner Geoff Ferdón personally adjusts the action, intonation, and playability to ensure your guitar arrives at its absolute best.
Whether you're a dedicated student advancing to your first professional instrument or a seasoned performer seeking reliable expression, the Alhambra 7P Classical Guitar delivers the authentic Spanish sound and playability that has made Alhambra one of the most respected names in classical guitars.

I was on the fence, 7C or 7P. however I am more partial to rosewood vs mahogany. this is my first ceder top and after spending about 15 hours with it I'm in love. Alhambra has some good video's out on you-tube profiling their guitars so you can get a good listen. There is something, in my opinion, about a quality guitar made in Espana. Service from Geoff is the best. I also love the fact he is a classical / flamenco aficionado too. This really puts me at ease when purchasing from x guitars vs. a big box store where you never know what you may get let alone communicating with someone who actually plays this style guitar. Set up was on point in what was requested. playability fantastic. Savarez 500AJ strings make this guitar sing. I do spend time playing in my garden for my plants or wherever I am at. Second purchase from x guitars.
Ten months after the guitar arrived, I'm even more pleased with my selection. Although the 7P was a major improvement over my Yamaha, I wanted to be sure it stood the test of time. As my skills improved, my appreciation for the guitar's rich tones, sustain, clarity, and resonance also increased. My instructor has commented several times in recent months on the instrument's excellent sound. The buying experience was stronger than with other sellers, on line or locally. Geoff took time to build a relationship and guide me through the selection. His deep brand knowledge, consistent support, and clear and concise written communications gave me the confidence to proceed. Although resistant at first, I came to appreciate Geoff's recommendation for Corum New Cristal Savarez high tension strings as they enhance the richness of this superb instrument.
I spent more than a year shopping for this guitar. I looked at luthiers, and other online music outlets but couldn't be happier with the satisfaction I have in dealing with Geoff. I got just what I wanted , including the beautiful hard shell case and Geoff even sent me the gig bag for the cost of shipping. Geoff obviously knows his business. The delivery was quick and the packaging was perfect! I have made a new friend......lol.
I love the Alhambra 7P cedar and the service was fantastic, including a rush delivery to have the guitar here before Christmas, done on Geoff's initiative. He also was super helpful whenever I had questions about the guitar and guitars in general, going out of his way to experiment with a few, on my request. The guitar arrived in perfect condition and I'm very happy with it! I will be doing business with XGuitars in the future.
Both beautiful and sounds amazing. It cost me more due to import fees to Canada but my internet search always brought me back to XGuitars … and for good reason as I always prefer to buy from knowledgeable and helpful stores. This is my first guitar and really appreciated the suggestions Geoff made regarding strings and changes to the bridge and nut. Being a senior, I hope to live long enough to need another lol.
