Alhambra Guitars NJ2 E

The Alhambra is an electro-acoustic guitar style jumbo, rather heavy, the strings enough space (37 mm between the two set at nut). It seems to be manufactured in Spain. The pre-amp is one that Fishman dlivre plutt signal low.

UTILIZATION

I use it almost exclusively Finger picking, and in this use, it is idalie. For cons, I deprecated in the flat. Trs is comfortable and easy to play. A little heavy, even when masive ...

SOUNDS

For folk and picking, nothing wrong, it is perfectly adapted. I reproached him may be a lack of characters and personality, but that price, I'm not sr that we can do much better.
Unfortunately, the pre-amp Fishman parat me a little "pick it up." Signal poverty rglages difficult and unfriendly, not the sound level of the game audio. Too bad!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years and, as I play mostly finger picking is my guitar prdilection. In this price range, it moves really well (I have tried many!). Perhaps there should be change the pre-amp to make an extra guitar ...

Spanish guitar, folk made by the flamenco guitar pro nylon! (First surprise) and electro as they do nearly that of acoustics (2nd surprise)

Fishman Prefix pre-amp on the (very) big JUMBO, varnished natural, aesthetically wonderful to my taste, but a little soft ... it is beautiful but takes all the little shock ...

But what she's beautiful ... (Well, tastes and colors ... hey, each his own)

UTILIZATION

Here is the major weakness for my taste (and only) gameplay ... settings notwithstanding moultes moultes pro (I have one more road guitar!) strings stay away from the handle, and it is a blow to leave a phalanx ...

on the other hand, question her, I defy quiquonque to find me a scraper to - € 1,000 with the depth of serious, this banana acoustic sound and it made! Unlike the other review this instrument, I like the Fishman prefix, which allows comprehensive editing and superb sound very wide pallet: solo guitar / voice, I chouilla boosts one's grave and I fill the spectrum to myself (gnnanana!) and group, I am more "lege" to go into the mix and allow room for bassist Mion ... Sure, for the warmth of wood, always the filter medium on acoustic guitars fitted with piezo only ...

otherwise, weight issue, it's not a guitar for girl ... and back suffers a bit. But what serious complement! FYI, I do 60 dates / years on this instrument and it's going to say ...

SOUNDS

For what I do: the pop / folk U.S. acoustic guitar is what I call a reference to these budgets ... Having tried martin (including 28 HD equipped with a B-band), I do not think three times the price is justified, two exceptions:
1 - playability on the fretboard Martin
2 - equilibrium frequencies

Couple this with a small guitar NJ2 EQ boss, a good DI (bbe Excellent!) And you'll be the king of the folk guitar at an affordable price. Otherwise, be € 3000 for a "real" instrument, well, I prefer to have 3 Alhambra!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 7 years in intensive (3 dates / week), she took the blows, it's true that the handle despite successive adjustments begin to do a bit of cum (guitar cold in the truck she eats temperature differences between the incredible lights of the concert and transporting cold), I tried many other models, and it would start over again, I make the same! may be a range above to kill me less fingers on the handle. I plan to go to Spain even see me choose the manufacture and replacement (history combine business with pleasure)

at this price level, takamine Rabiller can (and it's pressed against!), only Yamaha can fight the issue, but not with the finishes and the look "European" sober good taste (and other dead eagles to incrutations in pearls!)
