Alhambra Cross Over CS-3 CW E5

Initially, Alhambra custom-made a small number of “crossover” nylon strung  guitars at our request,  specifically for our store.  We have a lot of studio  and jazz players who need that nylon string tonality for Latin music recording  projects and live performance applications,  but feel uncomfortable with the  regular two inch wide nut and flat fingerboard typically found on classical  guitars.

The success of our custom crossover guitar prompted Alhambra to  officially add this new Alhambra Cross Over CS-3 CW E5 to their catalogue.  This handsome  instrument features a comfortable 1 7/8 inch nut width on a radiused ebony  fingerboard,  scooped neck heel and cutaway with excellent access to the upper  registers,  all solid wood construction and the Fishman Prefix Premium Blender  pickup/mic/preamp system!

This instrument is also available as an E2, with a Fishman Pro Blend pickup/microphone system.
