Alhambra 9P Señorita 7/8 Classical Guitar
The Alhambra 9P Señorita 7/8 Classical Guitar offers the perfect solution for players seeking a slightly smaller instrument without compromising on sound quality or craftsmanship. This 7/8 size guitar delivers authentic Spanish tone in a more comfortable format, ideal for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a more manageable instrument.
Thoughtful Proportions
The 7/8 scale of the Señorita model provides a shorter string length and slightly reduced body size, making it exceptionally comfortable for extended playing sessions. The narrower neck width and reduced body depth create an ergonomic playing experience while maintaining excellent projection and resonance.
Traditional Spanish Construction
Handcrafted in Spain, the 9P Señorita features the same meticulous attention to detail found in all Alhambra instruments. The solid cedar top and solid rosewood back and sides produce a warm, balanced tone that matures beautifully with age and playing time.
Versatile Performance
Whether you're a classical performer with smaller hands, a fingerstyle player seeking comfort, or a teacher recommending an instrument for advancing students, the 9P Señorita delivers professional-grade sound and playability. Its responsive voice suits a wide range of musical styles from traditional classical repertoire to contemporary compositions.
Superior Craftsmanship
Each 9P Señorita guitar showcases Alhambra's commitment to quality with impeccable craftsmanship. From the precisely shaped Spanish heel neck joint to the carefully applied nitrocellulose lacquer finish, every detail contributes to both the aesthetic appeal and sonic excellence of the instrument.
