The Alvarez Artist Elite Series takes quality to the next level through incredible attention to detail and design, delivering outstanding value for money. This stunning line of guitars is the culmination of years of R&D that allows Alvarez to produce custom style instruments from amazing tone woods with a truly radiant vibe. Artist Elite look amazing, sound rich and offer a level of fit and finish rarely attainable at this price point.
The AGFM80CEARSHB is a beautifully designed Grand Auditorium with gorgeous darkly stained flamed maple backs & sides accompanying a fine Shadowburst finish. Excellent tonal qualities with power and finesse make the grand auditorium an all-round versatile instrument for most styles of music.
The gloss Shadowburst finish on Sitka Spruce creates a rich aesthetic that is perfectly framed by the ebony binding. This is a beautiful guitar and would be a great choice for gigging with its stunning looks and LR Baggs electronics.
Along with a more angled headstock, the Alvarez bi-level bridge increases string tension by making the break angel of the strings from the saddle to the top more acute. Improved string tension adds to the sound, feel and response, which are also heightened by the use of real bone nuts and saddles.
