An Alhambra Crossover Designed for Today's Music
The Crossover series from Alhambra targets guitarists who love the nylon string sound but seek a more "modern" feel. The CS-1 Cutaway positions itself as a versatile solution: elegant, balanced, and designed to easily switch from acoustic playing to amplified performance thanks to its Fishman system.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This Alhambra is particularly suitable for intermediate to advanced musicians who want a responsive, comfortable classical guitar that performs well on stage. Ideal for acoustic pop, Latin jazz, fingerstyle arrangements, vocal accompaniment, or modern repertoires requiring high-register passages. Its radius fingerboard offers a feel closer to a steel-string guitar while retaining the expressiveness of a classical guitar.
Sound
The solid red cedar top provides a soft attack, quick response, and rich harmonic content, highly appreciated for nuances and expressive playing. The solid mahogany back and sides complement the sound with warm mids, present bass, and consistent projection: resulting in a balanced, clear, and musical tone. When plugged in, the Fishman E1 Classic M electronics preserve the nylon personality and allow tone shaping once amplified, delivering a reliable sound for rehearsals, recording, or live performance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes with the Alhambra 9738 gig bag: concert format, light brown color, 25 mm padding, three pockets, deluxe handle and strap, plus a neck protection cushion. Reflective strips on the front enhance visibility during transport.
