Alhambra J-3 Acoustic Steel Strung Guitar - neck and body What is almost certainly unique is the use of the Spanish heel at the heart of the build. This design approach, used for many high-quality classical guitars, brings the end of the neck right into the body cavity so that neck and body are a single integrated component of the guitar. This gives exceptional solidity and integrity to the instrument. The J3 is built in two body shapes - standard jumbo or jumbo with cutaway; and with a choice of soundboard woods - solid German spruce or solid red cedar. All J3 guitars are available with or without electronics. We try to keep the spruce-topped cutaway model with Fishman Premium electronics in stock at all times. "A very handsome beast" was how the guitarist Stephen Yates described it when he picked it up for the first time! The J3 has not yet been reviewed on Harmony Central but the J2 - the same guitar but with ovangkol back and sides - has been and received 10/10 for sound, action, reliability and customer support. You can read the full review here. All models have solid Indian rosewood back and sides, an ebony fingerboard, maple binding, a rosette made of natural veneers and a gloss finish. The scale length is 650mm, the neck has a truss rod, the machine heads are gold plated, and there is a compensated two-part saddle. Position markers are set at frets 3, 5, 6, 9, 12, 15, 17 and 19. There are 20 frets with the neck joining the body at fret 14. Read what others have to say abiout Alhambra steel strung guitars.
