Alhambra 7f-c Flamenco Guitar w/B-Ba...

I am selling my Alhambra 7fc beautifully sounded flamenco guitar with the great B-Band pick-up installed !

Description:
A beautiful and high quality Ebony for fingerboard! Like the concert models the neck is reinforced with an ebony strip instead of truss rod. Compacter and lighter it conduct the vibration all across the instrument and allow to guitar to fully vibrate from the head to bottom of the body. You really feel: The guitar vibrates against your body.The sound is rich, clear and extremely versatile.

Features:
TOP: Solid German Spruce or Solid Red Cedar
SIDES & BACK: cypress
NECK: Cedar
FINGERBOARD: Ebony
MACHINE HEADS: Gold Plated

Six months ago I installed a B-Band Pick-up by David Neely from David Neely Guitars in Hollywood. B-Band is a manufacturer of high quality pickup systems for acoustic guitars, double basses and drums. All B-Band pickups use proprietary patented electret film technology instead of common piezo materials. Piezo pickups tend to impart a sound of their own, often described as "quacky" or "plastic", B-Band transducers act in much the same way a condenser microphone does. This results in excellent reproduction of acoustic instrument's unique voice. I paid $500 just for the B-Band pick-up. This guitar sounds great connect to an amplifier or played without. The guitar is in mint condition.

Forgive my, um, "confusion" but....
Under "Description' it says that the back and sides are Indian rosewood.
Under "Features" it says that the back and sides are mahogany.
In the photos the back and sides appear to be cypress or another light colored wood like sycamore or maple.
Will the real back and side wood please stand up?
Duh.

And what gives with those string ends at the bridge?

The guitar is 100% sure with cypress back and sides. (Nothing wrong with that) f-c is short for flamenco-cypress

What I dont like is that you call it 100% hand crafted. Alhambra is a factory guitar. Yes, hands are touching it. But they are many different hands and what they often do is to put the wood inside a machine and take out.. Thats not hand crafting.

The guitar in the pictures is a 7F-C ,Cypress

The first Description is for Palisanto - Alhambra 7P

The second description is for a Classical Guitar.

I guess you just copied some description from the web from different web sources and just copy and pasted them
