An Iconic Grand Auditorium from the Artist Series
Part of Alvarez's Artist series, the AG70ce Black emphasizes lutherie designed to "speak" immediately: wood selection, voicing work, optimized bracing, and construction details crafted to maximize the potential of a solid top. Within the range, it stands as a highly musical electro-acoustic folk guitar focused on performance, featuring a premium finish and stage-ready amplification.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This Alvarez is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists (and demanding beginners) seeking a versatile and reliable electro-acoustic. The Grand Auditorium format favors balanced playing in fingerpicking, light picking, acoustic pop/rock, folk, and vocal accompaniment. The cutaway and 14th-fret neck joint facilitate access to higher notes for melodic lines and solos.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers clarity, a crisp attack, and beautiful openness when increasing playing intensity. The rosewood back and sides enrich the spectrum with deeper bass, bright trebles, and complex harmonics, ideal for detailed arpeggios. The FS6 bracing contributes to projection and note separation, while the LR Baggs amplification (Element under-saddle pickup) provides a direct, balanced, and mix-friendly sound, with the phase button useful for reducing feedback depending on the stage environment.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, choose a 12-53 acoustic string set (matching the factory-installed gauge). For stage or recording use, a quality 6.35 mm mono jack cable is recommended to fully exploit the LR Baggs preamp.
