What we like: Very responsive for a student guitar and crafted to suit any playing style, What we dont like: The Alhambra 5P is quite similar in sound to guitars under $1000. Japan

Im not sure what variety of DAddario strings the Alhambra 5P comes with (I think theyre probably EJ27Ns or EJ45s) but we all know I love DAddario strings so no complaints from me in that department! Its responsive, it has a sweet tone and its easy on the eye but, I have to say, Id expect more from a guitar over $1000. Comoros
