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:

Carbon: My favorite strings of all I've tried are Savarez Alliance set 540J. These strings provide great volume and resonance.  Being Carbon, they are a bit thinner in diameter than nylon strings. The tone is brighter and not as mellow as nylon strings. If you want a softer sound, nylon may suit you better.

Nylon: For nylon strings, I really like Savarez Corum New Cristal set 500CJ strings.  They provide a nice round tone, good volume, and a comfortable feel.

If you would like to have strings installed other than the ones that come with your guitar, you can add the Strings Installation Service to your order.

Alhambra 9P Señorita 7/8 Classical Guitar

The Alhambra 9P Señorita 7/8 Classical Guitar offers the perfect solution for players seeking a slightly smaller instrument without compromising on sound quality or craftsmanship. This 7/8 size guitar delivers authentic Spanish tone in a more comfortable format, ideal for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a more manageable instrument.

Thoughtful Proportions

The 7/8 scale of the Señorita model provides a shorter string length and slightly reduced body size, making it exceptionally comfortable for extended playing sessions. The narrower neck width and reduced body depth create an ergonomic playing experience while maintaining excellent projection and resonance.

Traditional Spanish Construction

Handcrafted in Spain, the 9P Señorita features the same meticulous attention to detail found in all Alhambra instruments. The solid cedar top and solid rosewood back and sides produce a warm, balanced tone that matures beautifully with age and playing time.

Versatile Performance

Whether you're a classical performer with smaller hands, a fingerstyle player seeking comfort, or a teacher recommending an instrument for advancing students, the 9P Señorita delivers professional-grade sound and playability. Its responsive voice suits a wide range of musical styles from traditional classical repertoire to contemporary compositions.

Superior Craftsmanship

Each 9P Señorita guitar showcases Alhambra's commitment to quality with impeccable craftsmanship. From the precisely shaped Spanish heel neck joint to the carefully applied high-gloss finish, every detail contributes to both the aesthetic appeal and sonic excellence of the instrument.

Professional Setup

At XGuitars, every Alhambra 9P Señorita receives a comprehensive professional setup before reaching your hands. Our expert luthiers adjust the action, intonation, and playability to ensure your guitar arrives in optimal playing condition, allowing you to focus entirely on your music making.
