Almera - AL100 4/4 Open Pore

Place your fingers on the spruce top of the Almeria 4/4 classical guitar. Its 'open pore' finish is not just an aesthetic statement, it's an acoustic philosophy. The wood breathes, vibrates freely, and your attack gains in nuance. You can hear the difference: a more organic, less constrained sound that develops naturally in space.

The resonance box, built from solid mahogany for the back and sides, acts as a subtle amplification chamber. It adds robust fundamentals to the crystal-clear highs of the spruce. The dense merbau bridge transmits the energy of the strings with an efficiency that prolongs sustain. These choices give this classical guitar a timbre capable of carrying in a small auditorium or blending into a detailed acoustic recording.

With a 52mm nut, the mahogany neck offers generous finger space. The merbau fingerboard is smooth under the pulp. It provides a stable platform for practising scales or exploring the Spanish repertoire. The tuning machines, though discreet on the record, handle the tuning with a rigour that avoids constant adjustment.

It comes equipped with Philippe Bosset Prestige strings, a judicious choice that combines smoothness and tonal precision.
