Alvarez Guitars | Quality Is in the Details


Solid tonewoods fuel professional performance





The Alvarez Artist AC70 classical guitar is crafted with player-favorite tonewoods for a professional sound and playability that empowers! The AC70’s solid Sitka spruce top has an A tonewood rating, denoting a quality weight and excellent sonic properties. The Sitka spruce top responds well to loud and soft playing, an expressive quality that lets classical players immerse themselves in the music. The articulate sound of rosewood back and sides keeps notes distinct with a strong clarity perfectly suited for intricate fingerpicking. A mahogany neck with a “D” neck carve promotes good posture with comfortable access to the AC70’s smooth rosewood fingerboard. Meanwhile, Spanish-style spruce fan bracing inside the sound chamber balances projection for treble, bass, and midrange that harmonize without clashing.





Detailed appointments





Finer details prove that the Artist AC70 classical acoustic guitar gives players a superb instrument with superb value! A bone nut and bone saddle let strings ring with depth and sustain that plastic alternatives simply can't match. Sturdy Alvarez tuning machines help you find the right sound and hold it steady, which frees you to focus on performance, posture, and technique rather than on tuning breaks. Alvarez also gets that a captivating guitar inspires confidence and backs that up with elegant touches, including a rosewood bridge, a rosewood headstock overlay, and a wood rosette.
