Alvarez AG70WCEAR Artist 70 Grand Auditorium Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural
Exclusive Spruce and Walnut Tone
The AG80WCEAR features a rare combination of a Sitka spruce top and black walnut back and sides to create a well-blended, full-spectrum acoustic sound. Paired with a Grand Auditorium body shape, you’re guaranteed a balanced output with maximum projection. An onboard LR Baggs Element pickup and StagePro EQ system allow you to take this expression to the stage, adding a new realm of tonal performance possibilities. The AG70WCEAR is a splendid instrument as it is, but luthiers have found, it’s beveled armrest and cutaway shape add exquisite comfort that’s akin to delectable icing on the cake.
Comfortable, efficient play
Among its most notable features, the AG70WCEAR screams comfort from the get-go. Boasting a beveled armrest and a cutaway design, the guitar’s body alone offers a comfortable resting place while giving you more access to the fretboard. Similarly, a "V" to "C" satin finish neck profile provides maximum comfort for smooth note transitions. Topped off with easy-to-use Alvarez tuning machines and a bone nut and saddle, the AG70WCEAR offers an efficient, easy-playing guitar that’s equally as comfortable to hold.
LR Baggs EQ-adjustable pickups
Leveraging a flexible film sensor, the LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup creates a highly sought-after quack-free experience. Instead of responding to individual string attack, the Element measures the movement of the soundboard on an ultra-sensitive level, highlighting the true voice of your guitar. A simple build means that this pickup won’t interfere with your natural sound, either. You’ll also have an easy-to-use StagePro EQ system that lets you adjust the ends and tones you produce, giving you further versatility with your instrument.
