Frequently Asked Questions
The Alhambra offers a slightly warmer, more mellow tone due to the cedar top, while the Yamaha tends to be a bit brighter and more focused. Playability is very similar between the two, both offering comfortable necks.
Olive wood is generally stable, but like any wood, it can be affected by extreme humidity changes. Maintaining proper humidity levels is key to preventing any issues.
The ebony reinforcement provides stability without excessive stiffness; it allows for a natural resonance and comfortable feel, avoiding the sometimes-rigid feel of some other reinforced necks.
