A rich collection of tonewoods and appointments
The 4 P’s unique blend of solid cedar and Indian rosewood tonewoods offers a tight yet sweet overall sound. The inclusion of its mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and deluxe gloss finish cements this guitar’s delicate, cherished tone. A melamine nut and saddle allow for reasonable vibration transfer and exceptional tuning stability when paired with a set of high-quality, gold-plated tuning machine heads. Topped off with a quintessential neck joint build, it’s easy to see why the 4 P has been Alhambra’s top-selling classical guitar for years.
Spanish heel neck joint keeps your tone balanced
The 4 P features an exclusive Spanish heel neck joint. To classic guitar connoisseurs, this means a much more balanced vibration transfer between the body and neck. In contrast to standard dovetail joints, the Spanish heel style features shallower slots, allowing up to 70% of the neck’s wood fibers to run directly into the body with no interruption. The result is a smaller neck-body junction that delivers hardly any audible vibration or unwanted noise during play.
