Hi
I ve had an Alhambra 5P CW guitar since around 2000.
Not used much but loved the look.
Guess ive mellowed in age and started to pick it up but noticed that it appears that as you move up the fret board on any string the guitar does not seem to maintain tuning. Ie play an open B and then at the 12 fret the sound is sharp. Same on other strings.
Is this something that can be fixed?
Also are there any string gauges or quality which you would recommend.
Much appreciated.
Hello Dave,
Thank you for your message and for your interest in Alhambra Guitars.
Did you try with new strings?
We use D’Addario EXP extra-hard tension on all our guitars.
But you can use different gauge.
We strongly recommend D’Addario because of the evenness of quality.
Try with D’Addario, if it does not work, you should have your guitar checked by a professional.
Please, let us know.
All the best
