The reviews mostly look very positive...

No personal experience with them, however.

Hi,

I tried to find "the" steel string for a couple of months. I had some VERY expensive taylor guitars in my hands and all the usual suspects like Gibson, custom Martins, Lakewood, Stevens and quite a few L'Arrivee's. All beautiful guitars up to 5000 $. Then I stumbled upon a SPANISH guitar and it blew me away. I bought the Alhambra Luthier j Series. It may not be as loud as a Taylor but it just a lot warmer to MY ears. I come from classical guitars originally so that might explain a lot. The finish is wonderful, playability great. I've been told it will be reviewed in GTR in march. Oh and by the way the alhambra cost half of the Taylor that was my favourite and somewhere near that level of sound and ease of playing....I have found one or two "difficult" zones on the 5th string 9th and 10th fret since then, but all guitars have them. Most people I show it too don't believe their ears. Try one.

Good Luck!
