How much is the Alhambra 2c with fishman electronics?

Matthew Shannon

12th February 2010 00:00
Dear Matthew

You have a choice of (Alhambra-fitted) Fishman electronics -

Fishman E1 Aero £125.00
Fishman E2 Prefix Pro Blend £195.00
Fishman E3 Prefix Plus £225.00
Fishman E5 Premium £274.00

The advantages of having Alhambra fit these are tthreefold: they know what they are doing, they warrant their work, and the price is extremely attractive compared with buying the electronics in the UK and then paying for having them fitted here.

All models have a piezzo under saddle pickup and a preamp.
The E1, E3 and E5 also have a built in tuner
The E2 has a condenser microphone built into the back of the preamp unit
The E5 has a condenser microphone on an adjustable goose neck arm (inside the guitar).

The E2 is by far the most popular choice in terms of our sales. The E3 hasn't sold for some time.

The prices above include VAT and should be added to the base price of the guitar which is £215 (incl VAT and delivery in the UK but excl case).

We do not stock the 2C with electronics fitted but could easily get one from Alhambra as a Special Order. The timescale would be anything between 2 and 8 weeks depending on when you placed your order and when our next shipment was due (if you ordered today there would be an outside chance of getting the guitar included in next week's shipment. If you ordered next Wednesday you would be too late for next week's shipment and so would have to wait for the March shipment for delivery.

I hope this helps. Please email or phone if you want to know more.

Yours sincerely,

Nicholas Mahoney
