Alhambra 5 FP OP Pinana Nylon-String Flamenco Acoustic Guitar Natural

The Alhambra 5 FP OP Piñana nylon-string Flamenco acoustic guitar is where flamenco tradition meets thoughtful innovation. Developed in close collaboration with renowned flamenco guitarist Carlos Piñana, this signature model delivers a fresh take on the classic flamenco guitar, blending time-honored craftsmanship with modern enhancements. From its rare cedar top and Indian rosewood body to its refined construction and tonal flexibility, the 5 FP OP Piñana offers the expressive punch and elegant voice today's flamenco guitarists demand—at an outstanding value.

Cedar Top and Custom Bracing Shape Expressive Flamenco Tone

This flamenco guitar features a solid cedar top with a special bracing design. The result is a quick, dry attack with a more rounded sustain than typical spruce-topped models. Notes remain crisp and clear, even under aggressive picking. The custom bracing lets the top vibrate freely, giving players more control over dynamics and articulation. This unique setup gives every phrase a distinctive voice, balancing projection with warmth for traditional and contemporary techniques.

Indian Rosewood Sides and Back Enhance Low-End Punch

The 5 FP OP Pinana model's Indian rosewood back and sides create a deeper, richer sound compared to cypress-bodied instruments. The rosewood body delivers more bass and complex overtones, making the guitar suitable for soloists who want their music to fill the room. Rosewood's density helps reduce unwanted resonance, so every note sounds focused and clean even at high volumes. This construction gives the instrument a unique personality that stands out in any setting.

Player-Focused Neck Profile and Gold Hardware

The neck uses African mahogany reinforced with ebony for stability and fast playability. Gold tuning machines hold pitch securely, while the ebony fingerboard feels smooth and stays durable under heavy use. Melamine is used for the nut and saddle—a dense, transmissive material that improves string balance and clarity. The pickguard helps protect the top from rhythmic tapping and aggressive strumming, supporting flamenco techniques without getting in the way.

Open-Pore Finish and Spanish Heel Add Durability

An open-pore finish keeps the guitar lightweight and lets the wood breathe. This finish, combined with the traditional Spanish heel joint, gives extra strength where the neck meets the body. The ebony fingerboard resists wear, while D'Addario XTC44 extra hard tension strings keep tuning stable under flamenco pressure. Every part is chosen for long-term reliability and a natural, resonant feel that improves with age.

Feel the Flamenco Fire With the Alhambra 5 FP OP Piñana

Designed for discerning flamenco players and advancing students, the Alhambra 5 FP OP Piñana delivers responsive dynamics and tonal clarity. The solid cedar top captures every nuance of your touch, while the Indian rosewood body projects bold, articulate resonance. Its reinforced neck ensures low action and lightning-fast playability—perfect for executing rapid passages and intricate rhythms with confidence and authenticity.
