A budget flamenco guitar (Blanca) and high end classical guitar (Negra) are very different animals. Flamenco guitars have very low action and fret buzz, and they have short sustain, and a more brittle sound. The classical guitar has very high action, more sustain, and a booming sound. I don't understand the comparison.
I like the girl holding both guitars, not just all the rest.
Yess, why Cordoba GK is buzzin guitar, because It's flamenco guitar, and It's not comparable to Alhambra anyway,so I don't understand why to compare stage guitar to classical guitar, there's no purpose. I've got GK studio and play it electronically????????
A high quality guitar will sound better mainly because of the wood material. It's hard to explain. But you will hear it. Wood has character. A personality. It makes you think and feel the wood as it plays – the brittle quality of wood. A low quality guitar has no character. It gives a generic sound. Or it can sound harsh and unmusical.
My Alhambra 5Pa has no A on the head what does that say? Yours has no A on head too, meaning?
Maybe someone has mentioned this, but these are two different types of guitars. The Cordoba GK is a Flamenco guitar, hence the slight buzzing of the frets, whereas the Alhambra is a Classical guitar. Flamencos are made with less sustain, for fast picados and punchy rhythms. Classical guitars have longer sustain. There is the Flamenca Negra, a hybrid between the Classical and Flameneco guitars, which often can be used for both types of music. The GK is a Flamenca Blanca, though made with Sycamore back and sides instead of the traditional Cypress while the Alhambra is made with rosewood. So it depends more on what you want to play Flamenco or Classical music.
prices update on Spaniard site!
I've played guitar for fifty years. I think that at this point in my life I deserve a class A guitar. But I lead such a hard scrabble life I can't get comfortable with the idea of subjecting such a guitar to vagaries of my day to day. I think I might have a heart attack if I scratched it, let alone exposed it to some of the other possible dangers. The struggle with this decision will continue, unresolved for now.
niceee
Who's Javier Mengual?
If only you could play
Seems like great content…wish the audio was a tad better. Thanks!
How about playability wise between these two?
Maybe compare the cordoba C10 or the Friederick model which costs the same as the Alhambra Professional.
The Alhambra sounds a lot better than the Cordoba with headphones on. A much fuller sound and I suspect sustain as well. The Cordoba does have a cut away which will affect the sound and is a thinner bodied, more flamenco orientated guitar. One sounds good, the other sounds great. Sure, there is a big price difference. One is a good guitar mass produced in a factory in China, the other is great guitar, hand-crafted in Spain. I would take the Alhambra any day. It's a guitar you can have for life.
Got an Alhambra over here. Best guitar I've ever had!
How about cordoba cp 100, is it good enough for beginner
❤ the comparison
Thanks for this comparison, Andy; offers points to consider. I wonder if – or how – the review would be amended if you compared the Alhambra Linea Pro against a Cordoba GK (Negra) Pro (i.e. Not the Studio). Also, What tension strings would favor each guitar. Cheerz!
New stuff, been asked for a long time to create this vid, enjoy ppl:

Heard of the saying 'to punch above your weight' . Well Cordoba do not punch above their weight. In fact quite the opposite. Dollar for dollar there are several Spanish made brands that will give you more quality in a flamenco guitar. And a couple of Chinese made as well. Altamira for one. But a comparison of these 2 is apples and oranges. Not only are they of very different qualities of instrument, they are also different kinds of instrument. Even an Alhambra 3F will outshoot the Cordoba. This obsession with cordoba guitars in the U.S. is quite amusing, as they are really quite mediocre. I guess it's just top marks for the marketing strategy. Really they (the affordable ones) are just another Chinese made guitar with decent quality control.
650$ vs 3000$
you guys are ok?
Between alhambra 7p and almansa 436, which of them is better for someone who is near to guitar certificate exams?
What is the process or Customs steps, would that not be included in the price?
As an endorsed professional artist with Alhambra since 2007, I admit I have a BIG bias.
The Linea Pro is a fantastic guitar. In terms of sound, esthetic, and playability, the Linea Pro “punches way above its weight class.”
Guitarras Alhambra proves that a truly great professional classical guitar does not need to be $20k.
Thanks for posting.
P.S. Have you tried RC Sonata Strings on the Linea? They are fantastic. Available with either traditional Nylon trebles or Carbon fiber.
Check them out, I think you will really appreciate them.
THANKS DUDE ! YOU HELPED TO DECIDE. I'M GETTING A RAMERIZ ! ???? ???? ????
Cordoba C12 vs Alhambra linea pro which guitar is better?
Hello I bought a guitar cordoba c3m and c5 From a site in Morocco,both I did not like with manufacturing defects I think they sell defective products without declaring them, do you know a classic brand much better than that
