Entry Level Models : up to $599
On my continual search for the best models at every price, the entry level model category is the most challenging to stock.
Fortunately, over the years I have built up a series of quality suppliers of hand-built guitars from Spain and here in Australia, that provide you with choice of easy play models to choose from.
GuitarsOnline have sourced a new range of value entry level classical, flamenco, crossover/cutaway and acoustic steel string guitars for players looking for value quality guitars.
This year we launch new guitar models from Antonio Pinto Carvalho - perfect for beginners, schools and featuring small sizes in ½, 3/4, 7/8 as well as full size.
Let the journey begin!
Entry Level Classical Guitars
Entry Level - Flamenco Guitars
Entry Level - Crossover and Cutaway Guitars
Entry Level - Acoustic Steel String Guitars
Guitarsonline features only hand-made luthier built guitars using quality materials. We offer quality at affordable price; rather than cheaper models which from the quick construction methods and glossy laminate may look shiny instore, will not play easily and can cause issues for players, especially beginners; wasted lessons and talent squandered.
For just a little more investment you can get so much more value:
A quality solid harmonic Cedar or Spruce top
A guitar made by a trained luthier featuring the gold standard of guitar building; the Spanish foot what making the guitar resonate end to end as one harmonic whole delivering full, rich notes that ring out.
A properly built guitar with no shortcut costs slightly more because it is built by a specialist; This process takes three months of which six weeks alone is the process of lacquering, sanding, lacquering and sanding again to achieve an extremely durable but thin coating that allows the top to breathe and resonate with every note.
These guitars are so well made they carry a three-year warranty 300% more than most other on the market.
You can hear and feel the difference in every note. And when the time comes to upgrade your well- made Spanish guitar has great resale value while a plywood guitar would be worth…zero!

Featured Model
Alhambra Z Nature
This is the best all round budget model I have been able to source over the years. It has become a category beater and my biggest seller. It has a high-grade Cedar Solid top, it has a specially developed internal bracing system that makes the top work extremely hard and is carefully finished with an open pore matt coating to ensure it resonates and punches way above it’s price bracket.

The Alhambra Z-Nature 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.
At this price, this guitar is a breakthrough. Made in Spain entirely by craftsmen it has a superb cedar top. This wood, as well as providing great colour, gives the guitar a great sound It is ideal for those who are venturing into the world of guitar playing for the first time. This classical model has a very ergonomic neck perfect for beginners looking for ease of play. However, one thing about this guitar is the low environmental footprint left by its manufacture, because this type of wood is natural and not lacquered. This also makes the guitar very loud and resonant and an excellent guitar for school ensemble playing. What’s more, this instrument is presented with a modern matte finish.
