Alhambra 5P CW E2 electro-acoustic classical guitar
Product no: 9000-0020-2902
Bax Music Warranty:
This product comes with a 3-year warranty.
General
The Alhambra 5P CW E2 was designed to offer optimal playing comfort. This electro-acoustic guitar features a special neck design where the heel is nicely rounded off along the sides. In combination with the deep cutaway, access to the highest frets on the ebony fretboard is completely uninhibited. Additionally, the string nut measures in a at 50 mm, which is a bit smaller than what you'd usually find on classical Alhambra guitars. The smaller string nut makes the guitar easier to play, but it ensures there is still sufficient room between the strings to play more complex chords. A combination of rosewood and solid cedar gives the 5PCW E2 its warm, rich sound.
Alhambra 5P CW E2: Fishman Pro Blend electronics
Anyone who wants to be heard better would do well with the Alhambra 5PCW E2, which has a Fishman piëzo pickup located under the bridge. The Fishman Pro Blend combines a sensor under the bridge saddle with a mini condenser. Both signals can then be mixed for an incredibly natural sound. The system lasts for up to 300 hours on a single 9V battery. Once you plug in the guitar cable, the system will turn on automatically. Do be sure to unplug the guitar cable when you're done to avoid draining the battery.
The Alhambra brand
The modern factory where Alhambra guitars first see the light of day is located in Muro de Alcoy, a picturesque Spanish town not far from Valencia. Since the early 1960s, customer feedback has been an important source of inspiration for the Alhambra guitar builders, who use it to enhance their instruments. Additionally, they exchange knowledge and experience with a number of master builders from Madrid. Alhambra honours the traditional Spanish way of building guitars, but also uses the latest woodworking equipment. No wonder the company is regarded as one of the top manufacturers of nylon-string guitars, both in Spain and in the rest of the world.
Tips or comments about this product
- Remember to take the guitar cable out of the guitar when not in use to avoid draining the battery.
