Here we have the Alhambra 4P Classical guitar which was manufactured in Spain. This particular guitar is part of Alhambra’s Flamenco Conservatory line. All of the guitars that were made in this series were built to meet the demands of virtuosos of flamenco technique. Each and every single one of the component parts are put into the service of the advanced player who requires an excellent instrument to perform on.
This guitar has been built with a scale length of 25.6 inches and a nut width of 2.05 inches. The Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides make for a really solid instrument that has been mastercrafted to withstand any amount of intensity during a performance. The Bone nut also allows for maximum transfer of sound energy to the neck and to the top of the guitar.
The only way to describe the sound of this guitar is that it is exactly what you would expect from such a quality instrument. The tone of the instrument is very balanced and does not muddy up at all when being played. Each note rings true, loud and clear. The quality of the woods used for the body of the guitar also help to keep the tone so balanced and rich.

Aesthetic Condition
Headstock- The headstock is in good condition, there are some light markings on the top area of the headstock which are not significant.
Neck- Very Good Condition
Body- The body has some visible markings to the lower section of the guitar. There are a couple of indents which have broken the finish and have indented the wood itself. The damage in this section is primarily to the finish and having looked at the guitar, I do not believe this to have damaged the top of the guitar as there is no clear sign of cracking in the top. There is some light marking to the rear from previous playing wear, the sides also have light markings in various places.
Condition of Frets
Shape and condition is very good
Current Set Up
Truss Rod & Bridge- Some issues that may affect a set up. See Notes Below.
Height of the string from the 12th Fret- 2.5mm each side
Please be aware that the action on a guitar may move slightly in transit and this measurement is the current height.
Notes on Set Up
The neck cannot be adjusted as is common with classical guitars. It would not be advised for the saddle height to be lowered further
Strings on Guitar- Normal Tension Classical
Further Notes
The guitar is in good overall condition with some visible markings to the body which appear to be just to the finish and one indent which has also gone through to the wood. The nut has been raised with a shim underneath, which is not of concern and has been checked, the guitar has a plastic nut and the new owner may want to upgrade this part of the guitar, which is inexpensive. It plays really nicely and projects well but setup is limited in the future due to the saddle height but this is not a concern as the guitar already plays really well.
