Player-friendly features include LR Baggs electronics, a premium bone nut and saddle, spruce bracing, and a comfortable mahogany neck with a hybrid “V” to “C” shape for incredible playability up and down the neck.Comfortable design from the neck down The Artist 70E is comfortable from the neck down with design features that enhance your playing and ability to lean-in to learning. Comfort matters just as much as tone does, and that’s why the Artist 70E features a rosewood fingerboard and a neck crafted from hardwood mahogany. Not only is mahogany a favored tonewood in the acoustic world, but this neck is also further enhanced with a hybrid soft “V” to “C” shape. Alvarez carefully developed this blended neck profile that gives you ideal anchor space in any position. Toward the headstock, the “V” shape yields a better grip for 6-string open and barre chords; further up, the “C” shape gives hands more room for expression and thinking outside the box.OM body is sure to please genre-hopping guitarists Perfect for players who regularly swap between fingerpicking, strumming, and flatpicking Alvarez’s Folk/OM body style is a champion of 6-string versatility. It’s a shape that clocks in slightly under your traditional dreadnought, with a rounder, more comfortable profile that’s not quite so heavy on the bass. In fact, OM-style guitars are prized among acoustic guitar players for their precise sonic balance up and down the fingerboard, allowing you to cover everything from a hushed fingerstyle arrangement to boisterous strumming on a single instrument!Curated tonewood selections Gone are the days of learning on an instrument built from dubious mystery woods that sound like paper mache. The Artist 70E features exceptional woods that sing with elegant depth. The back and sides are crafted from stunning rosewood, supplying you with a full and balanced tone that sports just a slight midrange scoop — ideal for vocal accompaniment. Paired with that is high-quality top crafted from A+ Sitka spruce with a premium gloss finish. Sitka spruce is the guitar world’s premium standard for acoustic guitars; it's known to enhance everything from tone quality to volume and projection, and also responds well to player dynamics. Plus, the sound chamber also features additional sound bracing crafted from spruce for a precision balance of tone. With tonewoods like these, you’ll be ready to practice, perform, and play with confidence that your instrument is cheering you on, never holding you back.Alvarez Artist 70E Folk Acoustic-electric Guitar Features: Folk/orchestra-style guitar with slim tapered body — great for singer/songwriters and students!
