From Wednesday 11 to Saturday 14 April, Alhambra Guitars will be in Hall 8 Booth E 74.
Analyze the past and investigate in the present to improve the future is one of the general maxims of Alhambra Guitars to apply in the construction of their instruments.
100% customizable guitar with olive and white ebony woods among others
On this occasion the new Exotic Woods series is presented. A totally customizable series by choosing different exotic woods.

For the top you can choose cedar or spruce and both the fingerboard and the bindings are ebony. A 100% customizable guitar.
The use of olive wood and white ebony produces beautiful contrasts in the guitar. The meshes of the wood obtained through the use of these materials create unique and unrepeatable instruments.
Although each guitar is always unique, in this case we can say that the differences are more evident between them.
Alhambra Guitars maintains the highest levels of demand in terms of selection of noble woods in origin, treatment of them and recycling.
The philosophy and corporate social responsibility in Guitarras Alhambra pursue the constant research of new materials in order to improve the sustainability and optimization of the entire process.
