Azahar N 460 Flamenco – All-Solid Spanish Flamenco Guitar with Pearl & Bone Bridge
The Azahar N 460 Flamenco is a masterfully handcrafted instrument built in Spain using all-solid tonewoods and designed to embody the vibrant character of flamenco music. With its deep heritage, refined design, and dynamic sound, this guitar is ideal for serious students and passionate performers alike.
Crafted for Tradition and Expression
Built entirely in Spain by experienced luthiers, the N 460 Flamenco continues Azahar’s mission to create instruments that inspire confidence, passion, and authenticity. This model combines precise construction with a true flamenco soul.
Tonewoods and Construction
The guitar features a solid spruce top known for its bright, punchy response and exceptional clarity. Its back and sides are made of solid Spanish cypress — the traditional choice for flamenco guitars — offering a dry, percussive sound with excellent projection and fast attack. The neck is made from samanguila (African mahogany), and both the fingerboard and bridge are high-quality rosewood, providing stability and warm tone.
Elegant Bridge Inlay
A highlight of this model is its exquisitely crafted bridge, adorned with mother-of-pearl and bone inlay – a rare and beautiful touch that reflects the guitar’s artisanal origins and visual sophistication.
Flamenco Sound and Feel
The N 460 offers powerful, well-defined bass, crisp trebles, and the lively midrange that flamenco players crave. The overall tone is dry and responsive, perfect for rasgueado, picado, and golpes. Its all-solid construction enhances projection and tonal complexity.
Comfort and Playability
Designed with ergonomics in mind, the guitar features a slim, comfortable neck and low string action, making it effortless to play fast flamenco passages or subtle dynamic phrases. It responds immediately to touch, supporting expressive and energetic performances.
Visual Finish
The guitar is available in a matte or high-gloss finish, both of which highlight the natural grain of the wood. Black bindings, an elegant rosette, and a pre-installed transparent golpeador (tap plate) complete its professional look.

Your review *I’ve been playing flamenco for a few years now, and the Azahar N 460 truly surprised me. From the first rasgueado, I could feel the clarity and punch you’d expect from much more expensive guitars. The solid cypress back and sides give it that crisp, dry flamenco bite, and the spruce top really sings.
What sets this guitar apart for me is the craftsmanship. The pearl and bone inlay on the bridge is just stunning — it’s the kind of detail you don’t normally see at this price point. The neck feels incredibly comfortable, and the setup was just right out of the box.
It looks and sounds like a guitar worth twice as much. If you’re looking for an authentic, handmade Spanish flamenco guitar that plays like a dream, this one’s a gem.
