Classical guitar with cutaway and 48mm saddle width
The Alhambra CS-LR-CW-E1 from the Crossover series combines modern and expressive playing with a certain classic note. The concert guitar with its narrow saddle width and thin neck profile can not only be played quickly, but also addresses performers, studio musicians and effect lovers with its Fishman Classic pickup system.
The wide cutaway gives the CS-LR-CW a slim body profile.
Modern Classic
The progressive concert guitar is based on the flexible character of the solid cedar top on a rosewood body and produces a warm and round sound with defined basses. For technical runs and complex chords the fretboard and neck are kept very narrow, so that the saddle width is only 48mm instead of the 52mm used for classical guitars. Last but not least, the cutaway exposes the highest registers of the fingerboard, which are usually treated rather neglected on classical guitars.

Fishman Classic Pickup & Preamp
Alhambra gave the CS-LR-CW in the E1 version a pickup system of the market leader Fishman. The Fishman Classic system provides a balanced balance in the instrument's frequency response and maintains a wide and natural dynamic range. The weapon of choice for stage musicians and studio guitarists with a soft spot for nylon strings!
