Alhambra Vilaplana Premier Pro Madagascar Limited Edition #1800

Description

Discover the new Alhambra by luthier Javier Mengual. This guitar is beauty, innovation, and tradition at its finest! An instrument aimed at the most demanding musician, offering a powerful sound full of nuances.

In addition to an excellent quality-price ratio, the Alhambra Vilaplana Premier Pro has been made with the best wood. Its reddish color gives it a strong character and an aesthetic distinction. When the musician has this instrument in his hands, he knows that he’s holding something unique, but without losing that typical Alhambra sense of safety: being able to press a note supported, putting the guitar to the limit, and having a clean sound as a result.

Its materials

In addition to solid Madagascar in the back and sides, a high-quality cedar top, a Schaller Grand Tune Classic Hauser headstock, and bone in the saddle were used to make this instrument. The finish of the Vilaplana Premier Pro model has been made in gloss, using nitrocellulose lacquer varnish for the lid.

The nitrous lacquer varnish (nitrocellulose lacquer) is a finish that offers greater flexibility and therefore, a greater capacity of vibration to the lid and contributes directly to the sound of the guitar. This model also incorporates a twelve-hole bridge where the strings are easier to place.

A new bracing design

They’ve used a new bracing design for the configuration of the harmonic bars. It contributes to satisfying the demands of the guitarists of today in terms of sound, but always maintaining the tradition of the Spanish guitar.
