DIFFERENT TYPES OF FINISHES

High-quality red cedar has been used for the top, with a gloss finish using Nitro Lacquer or French polish. In the Luthier India model, it is possible to choose French polish for the whole instrument. A type of natural varnish produced by an insect called "coccus lacquer" that provides a high-quality finish. In addition, this varnish generates a thinner layer than the rest of the synthetic varnishes, which contributes to improving the sonorous characteristics.

Visit Sadek Music today to discover the Alhambra 297 Classical Guitar Luthier India Montcábrer Signature and experience an instrument that exemplifies the perfect fusion of tradition, artistry, and performance.

AN EXAMPLE OF DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH

In the Luthier India model, the sonority has been developed specially, obtaining a powerful sound, with deep bass and bright trebles all in superb balance.

Alhambra Guitars has taken one more step in the development of new models, where comfort, robustness, and at the same time lightness and good touch stand out. Some characteristics that together make a guitar with a high-quality sound. When you hold the Luthier India model in your hands, you can immediately perceive its incredible characteristics: a 20 fret fingerboard with a neck that provides exceptional comfort to offer maximum ease in performance.

The Luthier India model is a great choice to perform in a room with a solvent instrument and meets the requirements of the interpreter. The haunting Cedar smell of a good guitar is the first thing that hits you as you take it out of the case. Red Western Cedar Top with very tight and thin grain is combined with a High-Grade Solid Indian Rosewood. Workmanship is to the highest standards – this can be instantly detected even with a glance at the detailing, particularly in the purfling and rosette. This guitar is a piece of art… it has a sound with a personality. The soft, warm beauty of the woods is emphasised by a light nitrocellulose lacquer finish, extremely light but very durable.
