The 3 F CT's mahogany neck offers amazing feel, while a cutaway body shape and Spanish heel construction facilitate trouble-free chord changes and effortless fretboard navigation. You also get an Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, plus a melamine nut and saddles and excellent-sounding Fishman electronics. If you're hunting for a top-level student flamenco guitar, then you'll welcome the bright, percussive sound of the Alhambra 3 F CT.

Outstanding build quality

The 3 F CT is a student-level flamenco acoustic-electric guitar with outstanding build quality. Its solid spruce top yields a direct, punchy tone; clean, percussive-sounding sycamore back and sides also contribute to this excellent instrument's ear-grabbing sound. You'll also be duly impressed by the 3 F CT's surprising level of volume and projection.

Easy playability

Students that are learning their way around their instrument will enjoy playing the Alhambra 3 F CT. Its mahogany neck includes comfortable Spanish heel construction, while the guitar's cutaway body shape makes accessing the entire fretboard a stress-free endeavor. The 3 F CT also incorporates a melamine nut and saddle, which keep unwanted string vibration to a minimum, ensuring the most balanced flamenco output possible.

Alhambra: top-shelf tradition since 1965

The construction of each Alhambra instrument starts with the selection of top-shelf raw materials and ends with a commitment to quality and reliability. Between these two important bookends lies a process of dedicated craftsmanship with the specialty of over 110 skilled luthiers, ensuring every instrument is made of the utmost performance and comfort. With over 55 years of experience, Alhambra has continued to embrace the same traditional building practices while incorporating the efficiency of modern methods, equating to a more durable take on authentic sound. At Sweetwater, our staunchest acoustic performers and classical fingerstylists rest easy knowing every Alhambra guitar is designed and built with the same love and care that traditional instruments require.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
