- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022Size: ClassicalStyle: Open Pore FinishColor: Solid Red CedarVerified PurchaseFirst impressions.
This is a great classical acoustic guitar and case for the retail price of about $500 in 2021. Guitars are typically marked up double from their wholesale price. So this guitar and case likely cost the distributor ~$250. This guitar comes shipped from the manufacture in a heavy fiber cardboard box inside an excellent padded case worth close to $80 retail. WARNING a few sellers have been known to take and keep the padded case to sell separately.
My son is a student in a four year program and this guitar is appropriate for a beginner to intermediate player and even for an advanced player on a budget. So factoring out the case this is about a $420 retail guitar. That cost the distributor about $210 for the guitar and $40 for the case. So if we simplistically compare it to a $250 dollar retail guitar without a case with a distributor cost of $125 the difference in the distributors cost is quite significant, $210 versus $125, this is the difference in the wholesale cost to the distributor. That $85 in wholesale dollars means a lot to the manufacture and buys a lot more quality in a guitar for the distributor and ultimately for the consumer when marked up to retail price; $250 vs $410 [$500 w/ case]
I was impressed with the build certificate that came with this guitar, listing woods from three continents among it various details.
This is an open pore instrument without the heavily lacquered finish of most guitars. This open pore finish gives this guitar different sound and wear characteristics from its high gloss finished cousins. This is a matter of personal choice.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025Size: ClassicalStyle: Open Pore FinishColor: Solid Red CedarVerified PurchaseCall me slow but I bought this last summer and have been happy with it but this is not a classical guitar. It is a flamenco. You need to know this because it is way smaller than a classical and the body would qualify as a thin body. And its sound has no richness at all It is the size of a flamenco I tried years ago. It is mahogany with cedar, yes, but has no inkling of a true classical sound. No bass all treble, yes this is a mahogany flamenco. But a nice one. Fun to play, noisy, good tone, no buzzing, stays in tune. Drop D is a problem but I tune down anyway so you may not have that issue. The tuners are cheap but a decent git for $500.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2020Size: ClassicalStyle: Open Pore FinishColor: Solid Red CedarVerified PurchaseI purchased this guitar based on the good reviews it had here. Maybe I was very unlucky, but here is my experience.
Packaging:
The guitar was packaged in a loosely fitting box. That loosely fitting box was packaged in a bigger box, alongside the gig bag. Other guitar manufacturers make the wiser choice of putting the guitar in the gig bag, and then package said gig bag, allowing for effective protection during shipping. Why Alhambra does not proceed the same way is a mystery that contributes to a "cheap" feeling, despite the "Made in Spain" sticker.
Gig bag:
The gig bag I received is not the one showed in the picture for this product. It is of much better quality. It looks much nicer, and is well padded. Which makes it even more a shame for the guitar not to be stored in there during shipping.
General look and feel:
Despite a minor dent on the back of the headstock, which may have been avoided had it been shipped inside the gig bag, it looked well made. The raw-finish look (very little varnish) combined with rosy wood makes it look like a toy for kids, but maybe that's on purpose. After all, Alhambra considers this guitar as a beginner, entry level guitar. I guess I was expecting something more subtle in terms of looks. But that's just my personal taste.
The guitar is very lightweight. One the one hand that's great, on the other hand it makes it feel cheap. But that's a subjective thing. I would probably have said otherwise of a lightweight guitar with a different look.
Sound and playing characteristics:
The first sound I heard was a rattling noise inside the guitar itself when I picked it up. Turns out a small sticker with a bar code on it had either come loose or found its way into the guitar. I got it out easily, but that made it feel like QA had not done their job.
Anyway, I don't know if it's the Open Pore finish or if it is common to all Alhambra guitars, but the sound projection was very, very good. I was quite impressed with the volume of the instrument, its balance, as well as the roundedness of its tone.
But this good surprise was short lived. Unfortunately, the guitar was unplayable out of the box.
1. Any fretted note played on the A or D string would buzz, even with perfect finger positioning. Not just around a couple frets, but almost on the entire usable string length. This was extremely frustrating. Maybe this was due to the low action, but I'd rather have a higher action and no buzz by default. The buzz was so loud and persistent that one would mostly hear that and not the note itself. And since Alhambra guitars do not come with a truss rod, there was nothing I could do about it.
2. The intonation was way off. Past the 12th fret, all the notes sounded sharp. Not talking a fraction of cent sharp. I am talking about anyone-can-tell-it's sharp. That, combined with the high buzz on whole strings and the overall cheap experience was enough for me to return the product. At that point, the guitar not only did look and feel like a kid's toy to me, it also sounded like one. Don't get me wrong, that's fine to make toys that look like a guitar, but not for $400.
Bottomline, I was very disappointed by the overall experience. Even more so given the reputation Alhambra has in the upper end guitar segment. The only thing I really enjoyed was the gig bad. I wish I could have kept it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2019Size: ClassicalStyle: Open Pore FinishColor: Solid Red CedarVerified PurchaseIt is a proper Spanish classical guitar that is well made. The price is right, the sound is beautiful. The guitar even comes with a nicely padded gig bag with many pockets. I love the wood smell.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020Size: ClassicalStyle: Open Pore FinishColor: Solid Red CedarVerified PurchaseNot really a fan of the flat natural finish, but I suppose the open pore finish does allow for a louder sound. There are no dots to visually indicate fret #5,7,and 9, which I had on my other classical guitar. This Alhambra 1 OP (open pore), comes with Daddario Pro Arte strings which give it a mellow and soothing sound. It has really nice sound at the higher frets. Overall quality seems very good, with no tendency to buzz on the lower frets. Unlike other sellers, the seller of this guitar did not include a gig bag. In summary, the Alhambra 1 OP is a good value for the money. Since it is a solid top guitar with a red cedar top, the sound should improve with age.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020Size: ClassicalStyle: High Gloss FinishColor: Solid Canadian CedarVerified PurchaseI like this guitar. It sounded pretty good out of the box but it wasn't strung properly and the 4th string was pulling out of the nut. I had already made a bone nut and saddle for it before I even got it. The plastic nut and saddle sounded okay but once I put the bone nut and saddle in it sang a beautiful song. The nut was not glued in so I'm guessing that's something everyone changes out. Other then the plastic nut and saddle this guitar is really nice. Great finish. Nice sound. Tunes well enough. Easy to play. It's a beautiful guitar and my first made in Spain guitar and I would recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018Size: ClassicalStyle: Open Pore FinishColor: Solid Red CedarVerified PurchaseThe guitar is bland looking, no Gloss, it looks cheap but it sounds nice. Has a few small small scratches. I. Not very happy with the look but I believe the sound will just get better. It has a sweet tone. It does look like a cheaper guitar than the tag .
