About this listing
In excellent shape, no fret-wear or damage on the guitar - just very few traces of use. This one will be delivered in a hardcase ! The Alvarez AP70L Left Handed Parlor Acoustic Guitar is elegantly crafted with a rosewood body, and a solid A+ sitka spruce top for a broad dynamic range that accommodates a variety of different styles. This guitar's small body shape offers a mid-range tone with a powerful projection, and is the ideal choice for travelling musicians. Forward shifted X bracing is also incorporated into this guitar's design, offering a larger soundboard for enhanced strength and energy. The AP70L also features a full host of appointments that add to its tone, including a real bone nut, D'Addario EXP strings, a rosewood fingerboard and many more. With its versatile usability and affordable price range, the AP70L is the perfect choice for beginners, and travelling musicians.Parlor Body ShapeThe Alvarez AP70L Acoustic Guitar features a Parlor body, which is slightly smaller than an average sized guitar. The Parlor body shape offers a balanced tone with a powerful projection, along with a perfect mid-range tone. This type of body shape has recently had a resurgence with modern players, due to its versatility and compact size, making it a favourite with travelling musicians. Its compact size also accommodates fingerpicking players, as its nipped in waist means it can be held closer to the body.Sitka Spruce & RosewoodThis guitar's sitka spruce top offers a broad dynamic range and provides crisp articulation. Sitka spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops as it generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles, from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking. This stunning tonewood is contrasted with Indian rosewood back and sides, providing the guitar with a throaty growl. Rosewood is a versatile tonewood that offers a wide range of possibilities and is an ideal choice for blues and bluegrass players, as it delivers a full low end with a bright treble, and clear articulation.FSTM Bracing PatternLike many guitars from Alvarez, the AP70L Parlor is also equipped with a forward shifted X brace design that features scalloped X braces and asymmetric tone bars. This inventive bracing structure provides a thinner graduated top, allowing the soundboard to move more freely, with warmth, clarity, balance and a dynamic midrange. In addition, by moving the system forward it provides a larger soundboard, which is optimised with a solid maple bridge plate for both strength and energy.Real Bone Nut Enhances SustainThe AP70L also features a real bone nut, offering an authentic appearance, excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time compared to other materials. In addition, this type of nut naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer, for the optimum performance and superb intonation.Equipped D'Addario EXP StringsFinally, the Alvarez AP70L Acoustic Guitar, is equipped with a set of D’Addario EXP strings, which are plain steel strings that feature hexagonal cores made of revolutionary NY High Carbon Steel. Manufactured in New York, these newly engineered, break-resistant, high-carbon strings deliver unprecedented strength and pitch stability, perfect for any style of playing.FeaturesParlor body shape offers a mid-range tone with a powerful projectionSitka spruce soundboard and rosewood body deliver a broad dynamic range that accommodates a variety of different stylesParlor body shape is perfect for travelling musicians, with its small and compact bodyForward shifted X brace design offers a larger soundboard and enhances strength and energyEquipped with 18 frets mounted on a rosewood fingerboardA real bone nut offers an authentic appearance and offers excellent resonance and sustainOrnate details include Ivory ABS binding, rosewood fingerboard with Abalone and mother of pearl inlays, and an intricate rosette around the soundholeD'Addario EXP strings provide a superb, long-lasting tone and playing easeSpecificationsBody & BridgeSeries: ArtistBody Shape: ParlorBack/ Side Wood: RosewoodTop Material: Solid A+ Sitka SpruceBracing: FST2M - Forward Shifted, Scalloped XBridge: Bi-Level RosewoodFinish: NaturalBinding: Ivory ABSNeck & FingerboardNeck Wood: MahoganyNeck Joint: DovetailNut: Real BoneFret Joint: 12th FretNumber of Frets: 18Fingerboard Wood: RosewoodDimensionsOverall Length (mm): 985Body Width (mm): 359Body Depth at Heel (mm): 92Body Depth at Base (mm): 96Scale (mm): 610Scale (inches): 24"Nut Width (mm): 44.45mmNut Width (inches): 1 3/4"HardwareTuners: Premium Die CastStrings: D’Addario EXP
