A pristine guitar from one of Alvarez's core Artist Series, it is highly regarded for offering premium tonewoods and robust projection at an accessible price point. A Dreadnought body with a Venetian cutaway for upper-fret access, and layered African Mahogany, providing natural mid-range warmth and sustain. The bracing is a FS6 forward-shifted, hand-sanded scalloped system to optimize resonance and top vibration. While the nut and saddle are genuine bone for enhanced string vibration transfer and tuning stability. Otherwise for electronics, theres an LR Baggs StagePro EQ preamp system and an Element under-saddle piezo pickup, which features a 3-band EQ, phase control, and a built-in backlit tuner. Pick holder is pictured on the back of guitar headstock.
