Endorser
Alhambra Guitar Company
(Arts and Crafts industry)
June 2007 — Present (2 years 2 months)
Manufacturas Alhambra was founded in 1965 from an original small guitar workshop located in the town of Almura de Alcoy in Spain.
From the very beginning it was always our policy to combine the highest standard of craftmanship with the latest advancements in technology to produce the finest quality instruments.
We have given special priority to our research department where all ideas and projects are developed. Manned by highly qualified staff, it has enabled us to produce the top models for our range which today are considered second to none.
Finally, with the coordination of our production director and our specialized craftsman, the results of these investigations are applied to our basic guitars. Although modern technology is an important part of our production technique, all our instruments are built in the traditional Spanish way.
The reward for our endeavours is the acknowledgement that Alhambra guitars enjoy a deservedly worldwide reputation for outstanding quality. -
