There was a crack that was repaired on the top.

This market-leading, all-solid acoustic combines the booming heritage of a classic bluegrass dreadnought with modern dynamics. It's a cannon of an instrument for flatpickers and heavy strummers, delivering powerful projection and sweet harmonics without breaking the ban

Solid AAA Sitka Spruce Top: Think of this as the guitar's powerful vocal cords. Alvarez hand-selects and independently grades each top, cutting it slightly thinner to maximize vibration. Giving you crystal-clear articulation and a lightning-fast response that keeps up with even the most aggressive picking.

Solid East Indian Rosewood Back & Sides: The perfect partner to spruce, solid rosewood provides the deep, resonant bass and sparkling treble that create a lush, complex tonal landscape. It’s what makes your open chords boom with authority.

ATR Torrefaction: Want a new guitar that sounds like a vintage classic? Just bake it.

Alvarez’s Advanced Tonal Response (ATR) process uses a specialized torrefaction method to age the wood, removing moisture and impurities. The result is the open, resonant voice of a perfectly broken-in instrument, s

Forward-Shifted FS6 Bracing: This scalloped X-bracing pattern moves the central axis closer to the soundhole, which opens up a larger vibrating area on the soundboard. The result? Tons of low-end power that still maintains pristine note separation, so your lightning-fast bluegrass licks will never sound muddy.

Bi-Level Bridge: This smart design upgrade significantly increases string tension and downward pressure by steepening the break angle over the real bone saddle. You'll immediately notice a punchier, more tactile response and a massive boost in sustain.

Soft "V" to "C" Mahogany Neck: Crafted to fit your hand like a glove, this neck profile provides a solid anchor for cowboy chords down low, then slims out for comfortable, speedy lead playing up the East Indian Rosewood fingerboard.

Classic Herringbone Purfling: The body is wrapped in stunning herringbone binding, an aesthetic nod to historical dreadnoughts that frames the premium spruce top with timeless style.

Vintage-Style Open-Gear Tuners: These nickel tuners provide rock-solid pitch stability, and their exposed gears add a serious dose of old-school charm to the headstock.

Flawless Gloss Finish: The body is coated in a breathtaking natural gloss that highlights the rich grain of the rosewood, all protected by a handsome tortoiseshell-style pickguard.
