Alhambra CS-2 CW Crossover Cut-away Classical Guitar

Alhambra CS-2 CW Crossover Cut-away Classical Guitar - cutaway

The CS-2 CW is a mid-priced version of the much-praised Alhambra "Crossover" range of nylon strung, cut-away guitars.

The Crossover range of hand crafted classical guitars are set-up to make steel-string guitar players feel at home. Compared with the traditional classical guitar, it has a narrower and shallower neck, with a "C" profile, lower action, and a rounded fingerboard. It is perfect for the guitarist who is used to a steel-strung guitar - acoustic or electric solid-body - and who wants to make the transition to classical playing or who wants to add the nylon-strung sound to his or her repertoire.

The CS-2 CW model features:

Solid German Spruce or Red Cedar soundboard
Solid Ovangkol back and sides
Ebony Fingerboard
Gold plated Machine Heads.

"Thank you for your help in choosing such a splendid guitar! I'm very pleased with my purchase, and can't put it down!" Quiller Brooke, London, 23/01/2009

The CS-2 CW also has a host of variants available:

Left or Right handed version
Choice of 3, factory fitted Fishman Electroncics.
Matt or Gloss Finish
Factory fitted full Pickguard

Please do call for more information we are here to help!!

We also try to stock other Alhambra Crossover guitars, each model uses different types of wood for the back and sides, and each has its own range of variants.

Alhambra Crossover CS-1 CW with solid Mahogany tonewoods
Alhambra Crossover CS-3 CW with solid Indian Rosewood tonewoods

The Crossover range of guitars all share some common features:

Standard Gloss finish.(Matt to order)
2.3mm action at the 12th fret on the 1st/E string (from top of the fret to the underside of the string, and
3.3mm action at the 12th fret on the 6th/E string.
Width at nut: 48mm (typical classical guitar 52mm)
Scale length: 650mm
Depth of neck at nut: 20mm
Depth of neck at heel: 23.5mm
Depth of body at upper bout: 95mm
Depth of body at lower bout: 102mm
Position markers at frets 3, 5, 7 and 9 on the side of the fingerboard.
19 frets
Ebony fingerboard (rosewood on the CS1)
Distinctive and elegant bridge and headstock designs.
Strung with D'Addario extra high tension long-life strings.

We believe this guitar should be kept in a case and are offering a discount when you buy one at the same time. The price quoted here includes both delivery and VAT.

To get a pure nylon-strung sound from an amplified classical guitar requires an amplifier designed and built to complement this type of instrument.
