Another Alhambra with ingenious architecture: the 9P 7/8 The whole works In the business of making and selling guitars for nearly sixty years, the Alhambra name is possibly the most familiar of the leading Spanish manufacturers today. Their exhaustive collection of models ranges from classical guitars (professional, concert, conservatory and student), flamenco guitars (concert, conservatory and student), semiacoustic and acoustic (classical cutaway, flamenco cutaway and crossover), bandurrias and lutes, to left-hand guitars and short-scale guitars. One of the guitars belonging to this latter g ..read more

Alhambra 9PCW E8 Electro Classical Guitar: At Alhambra, beauty is not just cosmetic. All of their woods come from sustainable forests and they adhere to stringent recycling processes too A world of difference Most of us understand by now that we should be doing our bit for the planet.

A guitar, of course, is not something we need to purchase every week, like our groceries. What’s more, a guitar you buy from Spai ..read more

Pillar of support: the Woodside GS2-LEV Posture makes perfect Amongst music lovers, the classical guitar is famed for being something of a challenge to master. An aspiring concert-level classical guitarist, for example, will dedicate up to six hours a day practising their instrument. And even a diligent guitar student with no ambitions of becoming a professional should play for a minimum of one hour a day. Therefore, one of the first things to get right is posture: the guitarist needs to be able to play for long periods of time without sustaining an injury, rather like an elite sportsman or wo ..read more

In your opinion – Raimundo 1495 Requinto

1y ago
Take the fifth A requinto (pronounced ‘reh-kin-to’) is a smaller sized guitar with a scale length of between 530 and 560 mm. The characteristics of this instrument vary from region to region: requintos made in Spain have a body depth that is similar to a standard classical guitar, whereas those made in Latin America (where they are very popular) have a deeper body of around 110 mm. The advantage of a Spanish requinto compared to other special sized models, is that it is not only designed for young players, but is also ideal for musicians with smaller hands, or simply those who need an instrum ..read more

In your opinion – Prudencio Saez 3-FP (G18)
GuitarFromSpain

Succession Prudencio Saez III is now at the helm of the talented clan of guitar makers who have been building instruments by hand since 1963, near the city of Valencia on the east coast of Spain. Although they describe their workshop as a place where time appears to have stood still, it’s clear that the artisans and luthiers who are fortunate enough to form part of the family firm have not been resting on their laurels for nearly sixty years: they may still be producing handcrafted instruments using the unhurried techniques of their founding father, but they have put the intervening years to ..read more

Non-Black Friday at GFS
GuitarFromSpain

1y ago
Music lovers and thinkers Another year and another non-Black Friday at GFS. Why? Because Black Friday does not sit very comfortably with our ethics or business philosophy. We believe in responsible, sustainable consumption and, above all, we know that buying a guitar requires time and reflection. Compulsive buying, as well as being unsustainable, is incompatible with our philosophy of quality, personalized advice and pre and post-sales service. Black Friday traditionally served as a bridge between American Thanksgiving and the weekend that marks the beginning of the holiday spending season. Th ..read more
