A flamenca from the Concert line, designed as a stage instrument
Positioned above the 7 FC, the Alhambra 8 FC represents an upgrade with a more demanding wood selection and refined finishing details. It also features a new design (rosette and headstock) and incorporates performance-oriented choices: ebony fingerboard, gold-plated tuners, and an ebony internal reinforcement in the neck, designed to support stability and playing precision over time.
For which guitarist and styles?
This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a lively and expressive "blanca" flamenca, as well as demanding musicians wanting an instrument ready for rehearsals and stage use. It excels in flamenco (rasgueados, picados, golpes) thanks to its quick response and balance, while remaining very suitable for Latin colors and precise rhythmic playing.
Sound
The combination of a solid German spruce top and solid cypress back and sides delivers exactly what is expected from a blanca flamenca: a clear attack, a pronounced brightness, and a projection that "cuts through" immediately. Cypress, being drier and more percussive, promotes clarity and note separation, while spruce adds dynamics and power reserve. The bone nuts contribute to a direct transmission of vibrations, with a natural and defined tone. Finally, the presence of a tap plate protects the top during percussive techniques without restricting the flamenco character of the instrument.
Recommended compatible accessories
The model comes with a 9557 case designed for classical guitars, ideal for daily transport and protection. The included additional saddle allows you to adjust the action (lower or higher) according to your comfort and playing style.
