About This Listing

Alvarez Laureaute Series Series

The Alvarez Laureate series boasts hand-selected components—from the bridge plates to top bracing, side braces, and pieces of kerfing—to achieve optimal sound quality, overall. Pairing solid East Indian rosewood back and sides with quartersawn and silked AAAA North American Sitka spruce tops, Laureate series guitars sport the thinnest overcoat Alvarez has ever achieved, delivering a flawless, deep shine, plus heightened responsiveness. With traditional aesthetics in mind, the Laureate series comprises body shapes from the late 19th Century to the 1930s, each featuring a full, single-level bridge cut from fine black African ebony. Additionally, the African ebony fingerboard and headstock plates matched with rare Blue Abalone inlays create a luxurious, yet understated vibe.
