Alvarez-Yairi Masterworks DYMR70SB Sloped-Shouldered Dreadnought Guitar





Alvarez Guitars | Quality Is in the Details


Handcrafted mahogany and spruce





Few makers dare offer such elegant tonewoods at this price point. The DYMR70SB’s rosewood back and sides offer rolling lows, snappy midrange, and razor-sharp treble that respond effortlessly to player dynamics. Capping this is a AAA Sitka spruce top that guides this guitar’s voice to vintage-inspired heights with plenty of clarity and sustain. Plus, Sweetwater acoustic enthusiasts love the DYMR70SB's advanced “soft-V” to “C” profile mahogany neck which keeps chording and picking smooth and divine on both ends of the neck.

Asymmetric bracing and a Direct Coupled bridge





Inside, the DYMR70SB's custom asymmetric bracing helps tease even levels and balanced tone across lows, mids, and highs for the range and versatility dreadnought players crave. A proprietary Direct Coupled bridge puts your strings in pure communication with the spruce top, representing a huge leap from bridges past. Direct Coupling gives more contact between strings and your guitar top; this not only boosts everything from volume to sustain and response, but it also reduces long-term wear and tear on the bridge for a more durable instrument. Also onboard is a slightly wider 44mm nut for a little extra fingerboard room so you can tackle picking or leads with extreme precision.
