Alhambra Signature 5 FP OP Pinana Classical Flamenco Guitar
Alhambra Signature 5 Fp OP Piñana ? Tradition Meets Modern Innovation
The Alhambra Signature 5 Fp OP Piñana is a remarkable fusion of tradition and innovation?born from the collaboration between acclaimed flamenco guitarist Carlos Piñana and Manufacturas Alhambra. Designed for the modern flamenco player, it captures the authentic soul of flamenco while introducing contemporary features that enhance playability, projection, and versatility.
Unlike the traditional ?blanca? flamenco guitars, the 5 Fp OP Piñana is a ?negra? model, built with Indian rosewood back and sides that enrich its tone with warmth and depth. Paired with a solid cedar top, this unique configuration produces a beautifully balanced sound?lively and percussive for flamenco, yet rounded enough for crossover styles.
Alhambra?s special bracing design and open-pore finish maximize resonance, allowing the wood to vibrate freely and project a powerful yet nuanced tone. With its Ergoneck SL profile, Agba neck reinforced with ebony, and lightweight body, this model offers exceptional comfort and responsiveness. Elegant gold tuners and a built-in golpeador (tap plate) complete the refined aesthetic.
