Description
The Alhambra 1C Hybrid Terra (1C HT) is an excellent choice for the beginning classical guitar player who wants to take things seriously. This guitar is unbeatable in its price range. (Click here to hear the pronunciation of "Alhambra".)
An entry level instrument to start in the study of the guitar with very good performances, a perfect finish, quality woods, and lightweight Right out of the box, this guitar surprises by its quality and by the characteristics of its materials. Handmade with selected woods, the 1C model is made with a solid Cedar top and Mahogany back and sides, beautiful woods that make up this Spanish guitar. The finish is careful to provide an elegant instrument. Elements such as nickel-plated machine heads, the fingerboard of Indian Rosewood, and the binding on top define a beautiful and stylized guitar.
DESIGN AND COMFORT
The string action and the choice of the frets make the 1C model very comfortable, an instrument very suitable for the beginning in the study of the art of the guitar. Comfort together with sound and a nice aesthetic appearance reward the student efforts of the art of classical guitar.
POWERFUL SOUND
Although the 1C model is an entry level guitar, designed primarily for students and with a good value for money, we discover a guitar with volume and high capacity to define the sound. The saddle and nut are made of melamine, a synthetic material which highly transmitting the sound and contributing to a round and defined sound.
In short, the 1C model is a student guitar with very good performance and the more you play it, the better it sounds.

Customer Reviews
I was looking for a high quality, reasonably priced student guitar and this is it! It has a solid cedar top that is nicely resonant with good sustain on all strings at low and high frets. It is much easier to play than the old classical guitar that I started with. I bought it from XGuitars so that it would be set up by a professional luthier. Geoff corresponded with me about the setup, lowered the action, and even filed and tapered a high fret to avoid a buzz. He noticed that the shipping method I had selected would take a bit longer, so we changed it and I got a bit of a refund. My new guitar arrived in perfect condition, with the strings Geoff recommended, and optimized for ease of play by a beginner like me. I'm very happy with this experience.
It was a pleasure to work with Geoff on my new Alhambra 1C guitar.
The help he gave was excellent, and the extra work he did in upgrading
the strings and adding the Kremona under-bridge pickup was perfect.
The unit came very well packaged, and in excellent condition.
I have been enjoying playing this guitar with its warm tones and great sound.
I am very happy with my choice, and with choosing XGuitars for my purchase.
When it comes time to upgrade, I will certainly return to Geoff and XGuitars.
Good guitar, good service. Thanks

Geoff responded quickly to my emails and that gave me my peace of mind on top of everything else already mentioned.
