The Alhambra 3FCWE1 is an electroacoustic flamenco guitar featuring a solid German spruce top and Fishman electronics, designed for a bright and responsive sound.
Introduction to Alhambra 3FCWE1
The Alhambra 3FCWE1 is a guitar that merges the traditional flamenco sound with modern electroacoustic technology. It is constructed with a solid German spruce top, known for its bright sound and responsiveness to playing dynamics. The use of solid wood for the top is a traditional luthier technique that allows the guitar to resonate more freely, enhancing the overall sound quality. As the wood matures, the sound of the guitar is expected to improve with time and play.
The back and sides of the guitar are made from sycamore, a wood that contributes to the instrument's bright tone and is aesthetically pleasing. The neck is crafted from African mahogany, a dense wood that provides strength and stability to the guitar's structure. The fingerboard is made from Indian rosewood, a material chosen for its durability and smooth playability.
Technical Specifications
The Alhambra 3FCWE1 is equipped with nickel-plated machine heads that offer reliable tuning stability. The nut and saddle are made from melamine, a material known for its consistency and ability to enhance string vibration transfer. The guitar features a gloss finish that not only protects the wood but also contributes to the instrument's visual appeal.
For players who prefer amplified sound, the guitar includes a Fishman Classic M (Classic III) preamp and pickup system, which is respected for its natural sound reproduction. The guitar is strung with D'Addario EXP 44 Extra Hard Tension strings, which are suitable for flamenco playing styles. An optional tap plate can be added to protect the guitar's finish from the percussive tapping that is characteristic of flamenco music.
The Alhambra 3FCWE1 comes with an Alhambra guitar bag, providing protection and convenience for transport. The combination of these features and materials results in a guitar that is not only visually striking but also capable of producing the crisp and vibrant tones associated with flamenco music.
