Alvarez AF70E – Natural/Gloss

Get ready to fall in love with a guitar that feels like an old friend from the moment you pick it up. The Alvarez AF70E, part of the award-winning Artist Series, is a true player’s guitar crafted with a meticulous focus on quality and tone. The heart of this instrument lies in its tonewoods: a solid A+ Sitka Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides. This classic combination is known for its ability to produce a broad and resonant voice, with a full, balanced tone and pleasing highs.

Alvarez takes their wood seriously, employing a process they call ATR (Advanced Tonal Response). This technique, a form of torrefaction, removes moisture and volatile compounds from the wood. Its like aging the guitar before you even get it, so the Sitka Spruce top delivers the clarity, projection, and resonance of a mature instrument right out of the box. The laminated Rosewood back and sides further contribute to a balanced sound with a deep low-end and sparkling trebles. Its compact OM body shape is incredibly comfortable, making it perfect for singer-songwriters, folk players, and anyone who wants a guitar that can keep up with their creativity. It’s no wonder musicians like Ani DiFranco and Jerry Garcia have trusted Alvarez guitars to craft their sound.
