Alhambra 7PA German Spruce Indian Rosewood 2024

The 2024 Alhambra 7PA is a classical guitar clearly aimed at the serious player. This model combines traditional Spanish construction methods with the dimensions and response of a full-sized concert guitar. The body depth of 10.6 cm at its widest point gives the guitar a powerful and open character, while the fully handcrafted design ensures a direct and lively response under the fingers.

For the sound, Alhambra chose a solid German spruce top combined with solid Indian rosewood for the sides and back. German spruce is known for its clear projection, fast response, and wide dynamic range, with a sound that opens up and deepens further over the years. Compared to cedar, spruce often delivers more definition and nuance, especially in rooms with drier acoustics. The rosewood adds warmth, depth, and sustain, making the guitar sound rich without losing clarity.T

he ebony fingerboard and ebony-reinforced neck contribute to the instrument's stability and solid playability. The combination of concert dimensions, high-quality solid woods, and traditional Spanish construction makes the 7PA a versatile classical guitar with great projection and a mature tonal character.

The guitar was built in 2024 and is in excellent condition. The top has a few dings on the upper and lower bout on the treble side, and there are some minor scratches on the side of the body, including a somewhat longer scratch on the lower bout on the treble side. Otherwise, the guitar looks very clean and comes with a TFOA passport in a case.
