Here’s a treat – a Graham Caldersmith Concert Classical guitar from 2009, with lattice-braced Red Cedar top and lovely American Walnut for the back and sides.
The Alhambra model 7P classical guitar is probably our most popular model for the serious student of the classical idiom. With its all solid wood construction, this instrument will develop and grow with you as your skills, technique and repertoire expand. The solid bookmatched spruce top on this instrument gives excellent note definition and interesting overtone series while the rosewood back and sides impart a warm foundation for the note fundamental and a golden overall tonality.
The intermediate level Alhambra 7fc Flamenco Blanca guitar is traditionally built with a solid German Spruce top and solid Cypress back and sides.
The Ramirez 1a Professional is considered the top of the line for ‘production’ classical guitars, relied on by professionals requiring the powerful yet expressive delivery of tone and clarity. Beyond the 1a, players rely on very high priced custom instruments hand-built to their own specifications.
This M. Sakurai Number 7 guitar labelled as supervised by M. Kohno, and dating to 1975. It features a solid cedar top, solid Indian Rosewood for the back, sides, headplate and bridge, Mahogany for the neck (and blocks) with Ebony for the fingerboard. The binding is also rosewood. The construction looks like it’s done in the traditional Spanish style, with a ‘slipper heel’ but it is possible that the neck actually attaches with a dovetail joint.
