But it's still a form of an old classical-guitar tonal character that's interesting as an alternative to a cleaner, modern sound.
So I appreciate mine for what it is (and it was purchased used, like your 4p IIRC) which makes the rather outsized new price not an issue.

I've heard folks say that Alhambras are overpriced, and based on my admittedly limited experience with the 4P I have to agree. I bought it used on ebay for a decent price, but it still cost more than a brand new CG151S. That's the way it goes sometimes. My recent realization on this makes me want to sell the 4P in favor of a tasty used Contreras I saw at Guitar Center. Now that thing has TONE!
If you don't mind my asking, what's your main classical?
