Cypress and spruce: a match made in classical guitar heaven
Crafted with Alhambra dedication, the 7 FC CT offers delightful tonal qualities for any style. This guitar starts with a flamenco-sounding character that can branch into other musical styles. The combination of solid German spruce and solid cypress back and sides yields a mix of bright, clear, articulate tone that can follow fast finger styling or intricate chords. The mahogany neck was joined to the body with a Spanish heel construction, making for superior resonance and stability. There are 19 frets adorning the silky ebony fingerboard that will last for years to come. Lastly, a low-string action allows for swift runs up and down the fingerboard, while a cutaway makes the high notes easily accessible.
A Fishman preamp makes this Alhambra sing onstage
Alhambra joined forces with Fishman to bring you a guitar that is both acoustically superb and electronically excellent. Through the Fishman Prefix Pro Blend (E2) preamp, you can plug in to play gigs with plenty of volume or studio sessions with exceptional sonic capture. The preamp features a wide-range semi-parametric contour EQ, a blend control to bend between pickup and internal mic, and bass and treble sliders. You can thank the Acoustic Matrix Undersaddle Pickup and Switchjack Stereo Endpin Jack for providing a stellar tone, whether you play classical styles or shake it up with something more modern. Lastly, a feedback-fighting notch filter and phase switch will keep the 7 FC CT sounding clean and clear no matter what.
