Antonio Pinto 1C High Gloss Lacquer plus bonus Alhambra Soft Classical Guitar Bag (10mm)

=> please CLICK HERE to see this guitar in action:

A very balanced and resonant classical guitar with the traditional resonance and warmth of Cedar and excellent playability.

It is lyrical and parents buying the first classical guitar for their children seem to be enchanted and instantly taken with it.

Daniel Nistico, in his review on the GuitarsOnline YouTube channel, was particularly impressed with this model, noting its higher-grade solid top, integrated Spanish heel for enhanced resonance, and the added power and projection from the gloss finish. 

He likened the difference to moving from a four-cylinder to a V8 engine, highlighting its evenness, power, and excellent value for money.

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.

Notes

We had been searching for years for a good quality entry level solid top under $500.

We found it in the Antonio Pinto Lusitana and 1C Open Pore and even the 1C High Gloss featuring a quality lacquered finish to add extra punch and projection.

But we could not resist the extra value offered by this guitar the model 3.

Yes, it slightly more than our self- imposed budget of $500 but it delivers so much more, so we just had to add it to our entry level range.

The Alhambra 1C, priced at $899 falls slightly above the entry-level price point but is an excellent option for those willing to stretch their budget.

This iconic Spanish-made guitar features a solid Cedar top and Sapele back and sides.

Daniel Nistico's review highlights its quality Cedar top, powerful internal bracing, and lacquered finish, delivering the warmth and power of Cedar with a generous roundness.

He noted that while it might be a little sweeter and not as punchy as some others, it offers a beautiful, projecting tone with great sustain up the neck.

FEATURES

• Level – Entry study

• Scale – 650/636/610/580/544

• Top – Solid Cedar or Solid Spruce

• Back and Sides – Laminate Sappelli

• Fret board – Solid Rosewood

• Machine heads – Silver

Notes –  This is Alhambra’s entry level model featuring a high quality Cedar or Spruce top or an excellent 2nd stage guitar. Once you have decided you want to get serious with your playing.

Although it is slightly more than some of it’s imitators and it is an entry level guitar in terms of Alhambra don’t let this fool you because Alhambra put only the best tops on their guitars and lavish attention and care on all of their guitars. This is the reason why it is the biggest seller in Australia and around the world second only to the Alhambra 4P the biggest seller at the intermediate level.

The 1C comes in shorter scale lengths of ½ size (544mm) for very young beginners, ¾ (610) for growing players, 7/8 (636) for players requiring an almost full size guitar but not quite stretching enough in terms of hand span. The full size 650 scale length guitar offers the growing student a full size guitar sound in a more manageable playing sized instrument.

More expensive than your bargain basement guitar however the difference is, this instrument will train the musical ear as well as enabling the young player to enjoy the fruits of their musical labour.

About the maker

Well this is a blast of nostalgia. I had heard of these but never seen one as it were in “the flesh”.

The Cachimba guitars line up was commissioned by Dr Peter Calvo who founded the Sydney Guitar School in 1969, which latter became AIM.

Finding there were few quality Classical guitars suitable for teaching the Classical repertoire available in Sydney.

He commissioned a small factory in Nagoya, Japan. To make him a series of models from 1-10 for his burgeoning student base. This is a high-end model 8.

About the Guitar

features

• TOP: Solid Red Cedar

• SIDES & BACK: Solid Indian Rosewood

• NECK: Spanish Cedar Reinforced inside with Ebony Wood

• FINGERBOARD: Ebony

• MACHINE HEADS: Luxury High Quality Machine Heads

This is a high-end model 8 Cachimba and apart from some fingernail scratches it’s in good shape, considering its age.

The soundboard is solid cedar and plays very well. accompanied by a gig bag, 99 cm long, 37.8 cm wide, 10.2 cm deep. Dan’s rendition of the Chopin piece showcases the guitars’ playability and delivery very well and displays great tone and power at a small investment. This guitar will again be the making of an up and coming player.

Daniel Nistico when playing and reviewing the Cachimba 8 said “ This is wonderful Guitar, I like what it says here on the label “crafted from choice materials under strict supervision of the Sydney Spanish Guitar Centre”. Lovely solid back and sides guitar. This is an intermediate range guitar and you get pretty great value for money here it’s a pretty robust sounding guitar. (Plays chords to show) pretty sweet plays a nice scale showing tone. Dan then Plays excerpts of Adelita, Bach. And Chopin Valse transcribed by Mario Parodi.

As you play it for the first time, you now enjoy a guitar with great volume and clarity, and a much larger range of tonal possibilities.  Only move your right hand a tiny bit… the tone is different!

You realize it offers so many possibilities for new interpretations. From the sweetest tone to “Flamenco like” now you can expand your palette of expression.

The Alhambra 2C, priced at $1090 (but often available under $1000 with discounts), is a fantastic Spanish-made option featuring a solid Cedar top and Mahogany back and sides.

Daniel Nistico's review on the GuitarsOnline YouTube channel praised its increased musicality and richer sympathetic notes compared to entry-level models.

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
