These two companies seem to be comparable in their sub $2000 selections. However, Cordobas are available in retail shops here for me to play and Alhambras I can only find at XGuitars.com. I'm very impressed with Cordoba's Pro-F model and I believe Alhambra's match to it is their 7F model. Both range around $1100 to $1300. Has anybody played ALhambras or have other suggestions if either of these choices are crap? My price range for my next guitar is $1000-1500, cypress/spruce, solid woods.
