Alhambra 5P CT – Thin-Body Cutaway Classical Guitar
The Alhambra 5P CT is the ideal instrument for players seeking a smooth transition from electric or steel-string acoustic to classical guitar. Handcrafted in Spain, this model combines traditional Spanish construction with modern comfort and playability. With its thinner body, cutaway design, and narrow neck, the 5P CT provides effortless fretboard access and a sleek, responsive feel that’s perfect for both traditional and contemporary styles.
A solid cedar top paired with rosewood back and sides delivers a warm, rich tone with clarity and projection. Its fan bracing pattern enhances resonance, while the thin cutaway body offers comfort and accessibility without sacrificing depth of sound. The mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard ensures durability and smooth playability across the entire range.
Equipped with a Fishman Classica M preamp system, the 5P CT is stage-ready with a 3-band EQ, phase control, and onboard tuner, offering natural amplified tone and feedback control. The gold-plated tuners and natural gloss finish complete its elegant and timeless design.
