Concert
The Alhambra Mengual & Margarit C Series Concert Classical Guitar, built by master luthiers Jose Mengual and Javier Margarit, feature lattice braced tops and French Polish finish, with the highest quality materials used throughout. Two versions are offered by The Twelfth Fret, with Red Cedar or European Spruce for the top. The Alhambra site lists only the Cedar version, as seen here in this 2011 example.
Here we have a gently used, very clean Alhambra CS-3-S-E12 Crossover, pairing Cedar with Indian Rosewood and a Fishman transducer set. This lovely, versatile instrument is in very good condition with its original hard shell case. Built by one of Spain’s larger makers, the Alhambra CS-3-S-E12 Crossover was aimed at players generally from the steel string world who need a cutaway, crowned fingerboard and a pickup system.

Ignacio M Rozas began building guitars in 1959, at age 16 as an apprentice to Jose Ramirez III and worked with him until 1969.

The sides are lined with a Cypress or Sycamore facing, not the same as ‘laminate’ woods, a technique pioneered by Jose Ramirez III to help increase clarity, and still used on some higher end Ramirez models.
