Where Small Scale Meets Grand Sound

In the hands of a young or petite musician, the guitar must feel like an extension of the body—fluid, responsive, and inspiring. Alhambra’s 1/2 size guitars, with a scale length of 544 mm, are meticulously crafted to offer just that. Designed for young learners and players with smaller hands, these instruments deliver a sound that defies their compact form—rich, full, and expressive, just like their full-sized counterparts.

Built with the same soul as our concert models

Every 1/2 size guitar is made using the same time-honored techniques and premium tonewoods found in our professional models. With solid cedar or spruce tops, mahogany or rosewood backs and sides, and elegant ebony fingerboards, these guitars are not merely scaled-down versions—they are authentic Alhambra instruments, handcrafted with precision and care. Each detail is designed to support the growth of the musician, both technically and artistically.

A musical ally for early learning and lasting inspiration

The 1/2 size guitar is often a child’s first true connection to music. Alhambra ensures that this introduction is not just educational, but deeply motivating. The instrument’s size offers ease of playability, while its tonal quality encourages musical exploration. As the student’s skills evolve, the guitar remains a reliable and expressive companion, capable of adapting to varied styles and developing techniques.

Accessible, inspiring, and ready to accompany any journey

Whether you're purchasing for a young student or seeking a compact instrument for travel, Alhambra’s 1/2 size guitars offer a perfect balance of comfort and quality. With secure online shopping, special promotions, and availability through authorized retailers, finding the right instrument has never been easier. These guitars are more than tools—they are gateways to creativity, crafted to nurture passion from the very first note.
