The Alhambra workshop was founded in 1965 from an original small guitar workshop located in Spain. From the very beginning it has been their policy to stay true to the highest standard of old world craftsmanship and produce the finest quality instruments. Special priority has been given to the journeyman luthiers , where all ideas and projects are developed. In our opinion this has enabled Alhambra to produce classical and flamenco guitars that are unparalleled in this range!
