The Alvarez LD70e Laureate Dreadnought represents the pinnacle of Alvarez’s acoustic craftsmanship, blending old-world building traditions with meticulous modern refinement. Part of the prestigious Laureate Series, this guitar is built with a true bench-made philosophy — every brace, kerfing strip, and structural component is hand-selected and hand-finished to maximize tonal response, resonance, and long-term stability. The result is an instrument that feels alive in the hands, with an unmistakably premium character from the very first strum.

Tonally, the LD70e delivers everything players expect from a world-class dreadnought. The AAA solid Sitka spruce top offers clarity, headroom, and dynamic range, while the solid East Indian rosewood back and sides add depth, shimmering overtones, and a powerful low-end foundation. Alvarez’s hand-finished FS6 forward-shifted bracing enhances projection and responsiveness, making this guitar equally suited for flatpicking, bluegrass, singer-songwriter work, and full-bodied strumming. The subtle Daybreak burst adds vintage-inspired elegance without overpowering the natural beauty of the wood.

For stage and studio use, the LD70e is equipped with an LR Baggs HiFi pickup system that captures the guitar’s natural voice with clarity and balance. Premium ebony appointments, bone nut and saddle, abalone inlay details, and open-gear tuners complete the package, while the included softshell case ensures reliable protection. Whether you’re performing live, recording, or simply enjoying an heirloom-quality acoustic at home, the Laureate LD70e offers refined power, nuance, and timeless dreadnought authority. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
