When it comes to the Artist Series of acoustic-electric guitars, luthiers at Alvarez spare no effort in delivering artist-grade craftsmanship with premium appointments. You’ll find the AG70CE Artist 70 to be no exception. An indelible blend of rosewood and solid A Sitka spruce outfit the grand auditorium body, complemented by a mahogany neck topped with a 21-fret East Indian rosewood fingerboard. Onboard LR Baggs electronics offer detailed tone-control options that won’t compromise the distinct sonics evoked by Alvarez’s cutting-edge FS6 bracing system, impressing Sweetwater’s guitarists with its bold yet malleable voicing. Moreover, its dynamic neck profile ? transforming from a “C” to a soft “V” at the dovetail neck joint ? accommodates multiple playstyles while maximizing comfort by complementing the grand auditorium’s beveled armrest and elegant cutaway. You’ll be right at home with the Alvarez AG70CE if you clamor for an acoustic-electric guitar with equally striking visual and sonic aesthetics.

Masterful construction for superlative sound





Establishing a solid sonic foundation is integral to a guitar’s voicing, and the AG70CE is brimming with character. Its back and sides are constructed from expertly selected rosewood, known for its versatile and reactive range, yielding sonorous lows that morph into crystalline highs, all without compromising articulation throughout its registers. The AG70CE’s top comprises solid A Sitka spruce, a tonewood with dimensional stability and resounding resonance to elicit the elusive intersection of punchy, straightforward tone while retaining plenty of headroom, readily supporting all manners of strumming and picking styles. Its mahogany neck complements the slightly scooped midrange sonics of the rosewood back and sides, blooming with overtones and rich in harmonics. Meanwhile, its Indian rosewood fingerboard imparts a smooth, glassy veneer to your tone.

Cutting-edge bracing meets heritage-fueled design





Alvarez continuously innovates with an ongoing dedication to research and development to bring out the best in every instrument, and this AG70CE features its state-of-the-art FS6 forward-shifted bracing system. This system allows the grand auditorium to reduce weight while bolstering voicing to harmonious effect, unifying the company’s midsize guitars with a common sonorous character while retaining the room to tailor tones to each specific shape and player. Moreover, the onboard LR Baggs StagePro Bronze preamp and Element pickup faithfully capture these sonics. The accompanying control scheme’s volume control, 2-band EQ, phase adjustment, and tuner let you refine your sound further. Alvarez-produced tuning machines and a bi-level Indian rosewood bridge, complete with a bone saddle, bookend the 25.5-inch scale, guiding its strings through a 1.75-inch bone nut.
