MGR/slimpickings « Alhambra 7P »
Published on 06/04/09 at 15:00I'm really a beginner in guitar playing. My dad was a wonderful guitarist and he taught me some before he passed away. I lean more towards country and folk music but perhaps may expand my repertoire as I learn.
I paid just under $1500 for my Alhambra 7P in a local music shop and I really think it was a steal at that price, given the quality. Taken care of properly, this guitar will be around long after I'm gone. I do have a friend who bought one used that was quite similar to mine and he paid about $850 so if budget is a big issue, try scouting out a well taken care of used Alhambra. It's better to buy it used than to settle for a lesser quality guitar.
This is my favorite guitar due to the absolutely phenomenal range it has. It is one of the most expressive guitars I've ever played and can sound both soft and sweet or loud and hard.
I've had the guitar for about a year now and it was my first with the spruce in construction. I wasn't thrilled with the sound of it when I first got it but I learned that spruce opens and seaons over time. That certainly turned out to be true because now it is one of my finest sounding guitars.
It's a well made, beautiful instrument that comes from Spain with a spruce top and sides of rosewood. Fine grain and finished perfectly, this guitar would look great as part of the décor if you wanted to be able to grab it down and play at a moment's notice.
I'm very happy with my Alhambra and I know that I will be playing it for many years to come.
