Alhambra 1C HT Hybrid Terra

The Alhambra 1C HT: the teaching guitar that guitar teachers have been recommending first for years

The Alhambra 1C HT is Alhambra's most recommended entry-level guitar. For years, music schools and guitar teachers in the Netherlands and Belgium have been recommending this model as the first choice for serious beginners, due to its playability, reliability, and fair price. The action is set slightly lower than on the conservatory models, which makes playing more pleasant for beginners without compromising on quality. And as with all Alhambra guitars: this instrument is genuinely made in Spain, by a company that has been building guitars for over fifty years with an eye for detail and durability.

The sound is clear and lively. The solid A+ cedar top responds quickly and provides a direct, warm tone suitable for classical playing, as well as for pop and fingerstyle. The laminated mahogany back and sides complement the sound with a round, balanced tone. The combination of cedar and mahogany makes the 1C HT versatile and pleasant to play, even for longer practice sessions.

The mahogany neck has a 52 mm nut and a 650 mm scale length, standard for a classical guitar. The rosewood fretboard offers a smooth playing experience. The Hybrid Terra finish is an environmentally friendly combination of gloss and wood where the pores remain open, which benefits resonance and reduces the ecological footprint of the production process. Delivered with a gig bag.

A fair guitar for a fair price, for the guitarist who wants to start seriously.
