Traditional construction, traditional tone
To garnish a true flamenco sound, a classical guitar must be constructed in absolute authenticity. With a collection of solid German spruce, sycamore, and mahogany tonewoods, the 4F embodies this standard. A Spanish heel neck joint also ensures true string vibration, amounting to a full-bodied and truly balanced classical tone. Thanks to Alhambra’s unique building process, the 4F provides the performance of a nylon legend with all the convenience of a modern instrument.
Elegant flamenco detail
Fitted with precision gold-plated machine heads and an ebony fingerboard, the neck and headstock of the Alhambra 4F provide stunning visuals while offering an incredibly easy playing surface — an important feature for flamenco-style players. The incorporation of a melamine nut and saddle keeps unwanted string vibration to a minimum, ensuring the most balanced flamenco output possible. To top everything off, the 4F’s traditional gloss finish and orange shine solidifies its status as an authentic classical instrument.
Alhambra: top-shelf tradition since 1965
