Advanced Study Models : $2000 - $4000
CLASSICAL MODELS
This used to be a very tough category to find good guitars, because it is just under where concert guitars start at $5000 - $7500. Most players chose to go up into the concert bracket models because choice got so much more interesting. However, this is all changing through constantly encouraging makers both here and in Spain as I travel. I am uncovering better and better value for money options.
If you want to stay on $2000-ish the Alhambra Anniversary Rosewood is superb if you love Spruce the Alhambra 7P is fast speaking and detailed in the trebles with a superb Spruce top.
Alternatively, if it is the Spanish sound of Cedar is what you want, the top performer in this Category for years has been the Alhambra 10P. I used to say it was the closest you could get to the Ramirez 1A without spending three times as much! This year I was again impressed since it has undergone a huge upgrade. So the Alhambra 10P is now a more powerful, easy to play and tonally driven guitar and still at the same price it was 10 year ago!
In the continual quest at GuitarsOnline to deliver the best value for money guitars, the Alhambra 10P also now has competition from the new Prudencio Saez lattices and the Vicente Carrillo Estudio India as well as the Angel Benito Aguado Marizapalos.
They are detailed in the note, project powerfully and are easy to play for left hand fingering.

About Angel Benito Aguado
Angel is unique among guitar makers in that he cannot be claimed by any of the guitar schools, being largely self taught. He collaborated early in his career with Jose Miguel Moreno and his wife. Out of this early collaboration date many of the early music guitars, but the early music clarity and sensitivity carries over into the building of his contemporary guitars such as the Marizapalos, Marieta and Espanoleta.
They are all incredibly easy to play on the left hand and incredibly musical.
This would explain why so many Madrid conservatorium students use a Angel Benito Aguado to undertake the arduous and long guitar qualification and also why on a Friday evening his workshop is abuzz with both established concert performers and up an coming players.
Ferociously intelligent and detail oriented, Angel’s guitars are a pleasure to play and sound excellent even in the shorter scales lengths of 630, 640 right down to 620.
I was impressed the first time I arrived at Angel’s workshop to find how well-tuned and balanced Angel’s creations are. The notes cascade and “play nicely” with each other with a tinkling musicality that is refreshing; add to this the ease of playing and this becomes an enchanting guitar that you can just let your fingers drift up and down the fretboard, even on the difficult pieces you’re still trying to bed down.

Entirely handcrafted with solid woods, Spruce for the top and Indian Rosewood for the back and sides.
A beautiful and high quality Ebony for fingerboard! Like the concert models the neck is reinforced with an ebony strip instead of truss rod. More compact and lighter it conducts the vibration all across the instrument and allows theguitar to fully vibrate from the head to bottom of the body. You really feel: The guitar vibrates against your body. The sound is rich, clear and extremely versatile.

About the Maker
Born in 1963 in the province of Cadiz, the Spanish luthier Rafael Romero Barroso began playing guitar at age twelve as a disciple of Rafael Escudier. By the time he was sixteen, he was performing alongside such renowned artists as "Chano Lotabo", "Rancapino", "Curro Malena" and "El Chato de la Isla."
During this period, he met Mario Melero Deudero (b. 1927), a Spanish guitar maker also from Cadiz, and discovering his true vocation apprenticed with him. When Mario retired, in fact, he passed his tools on to Rafael, who like his teacher, continues to build handmade classical and flamenco guitars using traditional tools and techniques.
Later, traveling to Madrid, he met the guitar maker Jose Romero, who encouraged and supported his efforts. Among the luthiers from whose friendship and advice he has profited, he also mentions Vicente Carrillo Casas. Among his clientele are such artists as Manuel Parrilla, Juan Parrilla, Moraito Chico, "El Carbonero" and Alberto San Miguel, professor of guitar at the Conservatory of Music in Granada. He brings to his flamenco and classical guitars both the knowledge of his craft and the sensibilities of a professional guitarist

The Alhambra 7Fc is a wonderful flamenco guitar with a beautiful bookmatched solid cypress back and solid cypress sides. Breathtaking, tremendous, genuine Flamenco sound. Its tone is consistent up and down each fret on all strings.
It has a bright sound, very “percussive” in a way. It cut through the mix and clearly is excellent for Flamenco. Anyway, the quality of this instrument is so high that you may play virtually anything.

The Alhambra Z-Nature CW is a new models that comes in under the 1C also with a solid Cedar top, fully made in Spain at the Alhambra workshop with a matte look as opposed to lacquered. It’s not quite as punchy as the 1C but is
great value since it is very open and loud with good note definition
and projection and very easy action.
It is aimed at Schools and at the entry level player wanting the true Spanish sound delivered by a solid cedar top together with “Spanish heel” construction that so few entry level guitar feature, due to the painstaking attention to detail it requires. The result you can hear the difference in
every note. It was launched at the Sydney Classical Guitar Society summer
school and teachers loved and thought it was great value compared to
anything else on the market. Good news is that it is the first affordable solid top, Spanish made guitar made without compromise.

Nice woods, elegant solid cedar top. Beautifully finished Cutaway, built in Fishman Classic M system especially dedicated for nylon string guitars, includes a tuner. Rich, warm loud sound on its own!
It’s obviously a handmade product. The 3C CW is built with the steel-string guitar player partially in mind as it has a slightly narrower neck width than is standard for classical models.
When played through a good quality “acoustic” amplifier the 3C CW E1, with its Fishman pre-amp, produces a sound that it is hard to believe comes from a budget-priced electro-acoustic classical guitar.
Price shown is for E1 option.

Condition Report
One very careful owner who has recently transitioned to a full classical guitar. This Yamaha NCX is in a new condition
Style
With their sleek single-cutaway body shapes, appealing wood choices, colorful rosette patterns, and tasteful appointments, NX Series guitars are designed for contemporary players seeking the perfect combination of comfort and style.
Bracing
As a result of precise measurement and experimentation, several refinements were made that enhance low-frequency response without compromising durability. These changes were further refined to emphasize the natural characteristics of specific tonewoods, and optimized for each body silhouette
Atmosfeel Controls
The simple and intuitive Atmosfeel preamp controls let you blend the microphone sound into the premixed pickup sound.
These simplified controls mean that guitarists are able to dial in the desired settings quickly and without the need to actually look at the controls
Atmosfeel Pickup and Preamp System
The Yamaha Atmosfeel pickup system provides unparalleled amplified sound even at performance-level volumes. An undersaddle piezo pickup with individual string sensors captures only the mid and low-mid frequencies (eliminating the characteristic brittleness of piezo pickups), while a unique synthetic sheet transducer captures the highs, and an internal microphone captures overall body resonance and “airiness.”
Daniel Nistico’s review said a beautiful plug in guitars it sounds good acoustically also. Quite surprised how good it sounds it’s very resonant, good for gigs, weddings etc. Very resonant classical electric. Plays in drop D scales and strums and single note runs. That’s nice, very nice intonation, very playable Plays the Bach Chacone “That nice, very nice intonation very playable” plays Andecy by Andew York showing clarity and resonance and tonal richness.
The deep sound of ziricote wood combined with the benefits of a cutaway guitar with a narrow body
The Iberia ziricote cutaway narrower body model is a mid-range guitar, which offers a range of professional features that surprises in a very satisfactory way.
Although each guitar is always unique, the effect of the ziricote wood greatly increases the uniqueness of each instrument.
The ziricote generates unique instruments, due to the contrasts of this wood grain, in addition to providing a deep and warm sound.
In the Iberia ziricote CTW model are combined beauty, singularity and sonic characteristics with the characteristics of a narrower body cutaway guitar.
Finishes and Features Very Carefully Made
The Iberia ziricote CTW model has been designed with a solid cedar top and Indian rosewood fingerboard, a precious wood with high hardness.
Also, a golden machine heads of Alhambra Guitars is installed in this model. It comes with melamine for the saddle and the nut, a synthetic material with high sound transmitting capabilities.
The bracing used for this model, called 50 anniversary, was designed in 2015 to commemorate the half-century of the existence of Alhambra Guitars.
Alhambra offers three Fishman amplification options: the EZ Fishman Classic II model, the E1 Fishman Classic M or the E8 Fishman Flex M Blend. The latter, once installed is totally integrated on the side and it has extraordinary qualities.
Cutaway with a Narrower Body
The cutaway configuration offers some features suitable for playing with a pick, as well as fingerstyle. We highlight the low action and the short distance between strings since the nut width is only 50 mm.
In the same way, the cutaway offers easier access to the lower part of the fingerboard, which is in this case made of Indian rosewood. This feature, together with a narrow body, only 8 cm deep in the heel area, makes the Iberia ziricote CTW a very suitable guitar to play when standing through the use of a strap.
In short, the Iberia ziricote cutaway model is a versatile guitar, suitable for many musical styles, very balanced and with an excellent quality-price ratio.
