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

This guitar is very interesting to play dare I say exciting in superb condition, is very well set up and delivers punch and projection in its delivery or dynamics and the price is undeniable value.

Dan Nistico when reviewing it and playing said “Beautiful instrument made in Spain. Let’s have a listen. Robust and powerful and quite bright form the Spruce. Let’s try above the 12 Fret. (Plays) Yes, very nice a lot of volume it really has a lot of punch. Very nice . Good for Bach like an Allemande requiring a lot of clarity. (Plays) nice sustain. Very nice, very nice and then plays a gig in the style of Bach to showcase a lot of the beautiful clarity, sustain, projection and punch.”

About the Guitar

Description

The Altamira N600 is an all-solid powerhouse made for advanced players.

This guitar has a solid top and all solid Indian rosewood back and sides, with a strong rich classical tone suitable for the stage. The N600 is ideal for advanced classical guitar students at secondary or tertiary level.

This guitar has a solid top and all solid Indian rosewood back and sides, with a strong rich classical tone suitable for the stage.

The top of the guitar is the vital component for generating sound, vibrating as each string is plucked.

With solid top guitars, the more this soundboard vibrates, the more this single piece of wood adapts and ‘opens up’ which improves the quality of sound as the guitar ages..

Dan Nistico thought the NS-600 is “very nice and open, great sound” very revealing especially with tremolo technique.

Specifications:

• Solid Cedar Top

• Spanish Cedar Neck

• Solid Indian Rosewood Back and Sides

A superb Cedar top complemented with Ziricote.

This is a Tone wood we started to see appear approx. 10 years ago to replace Brazilian rosewood.

Yes it delivers that darkness but it also brings a ring all of it’s own not only does it look stunning with the gorgeous sap lines flaming and leaping. But Ziricote is one of the densest tone woods known to man, so it delivers great and powerful base response with trebles to match. Comes with a very solid foam case.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
