22 Jan 10 A Success!

Hey Guys,

I am proud to share with you the New Alhambra Guitar Model is a real success. They all have been sold out, everybody wants to have one… the last in USA was mine… and I let it go with a guy from Singapore who came to see me playing every day at NAMM and ask for the guitar…
He is surely happy with her. You will have to be patient to order one !
The guys went back to Spain to build some more and I will announce here when they will be ready for order.
Now, to make you dream – if you do not have one yet – here are the pictures and the features. You will love the narrower neck with low action… the Moorish heastock design and my EXP Strings. Ready?

Oh well, it’s not a reason to come at the end of each concert to try to get mine, okay?
You could just buy one online if you want to on the Alhambra online store:

Check the new dates. Soon will be announced a New Mexico and Nevada tour followed by another concert at Carnegie Hall… New CD and DVD will come out at the same time.

06 Jan 10 NAMM Show in L.A

This coming year is very exciting. A lot of projects will come up:
- from a trio with world guitar stars Ricardo Cobo and Cem Duruoz – concert at the Carnegie Hall announced soon
- to new DVD’s and recording…
But, for now, join me at the NAMM Show in L.A where I will present my new guitar, Alhambra, of course! A completely crossover model, entirely handmade in Spain with the highest quality wood. A narrower neck (50mm instead of 52mm) gives this guitar an incredible comfort whether I play with fingers or pick, Indian Rosewood back and sides, Canadian Spruce top for clarity and definition and the wonderful Fishman Prefix-ProBlend that combines a condenser mic inside of the guitar and an under saddle pick up system. This miniature preamp shares similar performance specs as the Prefix Stereo Blender, on a smaller bezel that occupies 1/3 less space on the guitar!
Featured for the Pro Blend is the acclaimed Acoustic Matrix under-saddle pickup. It delivers a clear, articulate sound with emphasis on string definition and attack.
To compliment and contrast this pickup, a miniature electret microphone(mounted to the underside of the preamp chassis) captures the guitar’s elusive natural ambiance and sound chamber resonance. Blend the pickup and Microphone together for a powerful and cohesive acoustic guitar tone that is deeper and more “filled out”,than the sound of either the microphone or pickup alone.
The Prefix Pro Blend preamp module incorporates a unique flip-top battery compartment for easy access.
Now I got a guitar that sounds great when I just play acoustic and fabulous when I plug it into the P.A.
We are working on a Cedar Top Model that will be ready within a few months and with a simple, however, beautiful design. And a “Texas Touch” version for the summer with turquoise inlays and other surprises!
