Alhambra CS 3 S E3 Crossover Classical Guitar

The Alhambra CS 3 S E3 Crossover Classical Guitar with the E3 Fishman pickup option are ideal for the steel string player needing the responsiveness of nylon, with the practicalities of amplification. In the photos here, we’ve left in the sound-hold cover that helps reduce feedback.

Initially, Alhambra custom-made a small number of “crossover” nylon strung guitars at our request, specifically for our store. We have a lot of studio and jazz players who need that nylon string tonality for Latin music recording projects and live performance applications, but feel uncomfortable with the regular two inch wide nut and flat fingerboard typically found on classical guitars.

The Alhambra CS 3 S E3 Crossover is an excellent solution to those who are willing to express modern music with a classy touch. With a neck of 48 mm and its flexibility of fine quality of Cedar top, this instrument has the versatility of giving you a beautiful sound plugged or unplugged. The elegant design of its headstock will allow musicians to display style and project a sound that matches the look of this amazing instrument. The Crossover guitar has a Fishman pick up; these guitars have a very balanced tone that is adjustable to the performer’s liking after amplified through a carefully placed Fishman pre-amp system.

The Alhambra CS 3 S E3 guitar features a radiused fingerboard, and is a guitar with a look and sound that offers you the best of two worlds. As with all Alhambra instruments, the CS 3 S E3 plays very well as delivered.
