Alhambra CS-1 CW Crossover Cut-away Classical Guitar

Alhambra CS 1 CW Crossover Cut-away Classical Guitar

The CS-1 CW is a very attractively priced version of the much-praised Alhambra "Crossover" range of nylon strung, cut-away guitars.

The CS-1 CW model features:

Solid Cedar or solid Spruce soundboard
Solid Mahogany back and sides
Rosewood fingerboard
Very distinctive "Cedar" tinted rosette
Gold plated machine heads

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, they have a narrower and shallower neck, with a "C" profile, lower action, and a slightly rounded fingerboard. They are 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.

We also offer many options and variations, all available to order, which include:

Left and right handed versions
Choice of Matt or Gloss finish
Choice of optional Fishman electronics
Factory fitted full Pickguard

Please feel free to call for more information.

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

Classical Guitars plus can also offer alternative Alhambra Crossover models. Different types of wood are used for the back and sides on each model and again, each Guitar comes with a range of optional variations.

Alhambra Crossover CS-2 CW with solid Ovengkol tonewoods
Alhambra Crossover CS-3 CW with solid Indian Rosewood tonewoods

The Crossover range of guitars all share some common features

2.3mm action at the 12th fret on the 1st/E string (from top of the fret to the underside of the string, and
