Alvarez AD70CE – Black Gloss

The Alvarez AD70CE is a powerful and rewarding acoustic-electric guitar from the Artist Series, designed for musicians who demand balance, lively projection, and great response. This dreadnought with a cutaway is fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pickup to optimize live performance. The combination of a Solid A+ Sitka Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides is engineered to accent the bass and treble registers, delivering a tone that is open and powerful, and perfect for power. The stunning Black/Gloss top finish not only looks sleek but is applied as thinly as possible to help optimize tone.

Alvarez's multi-award-winning Artist Series is built on the philosophy that a guitar must be constructed correctly to truly optimize the energy a solid soundboard can generate. The Alvarez AD70CE Black achieves this through a marriage of high-quality components—including a Dovetail neck joint and real bone fittings—and continuous development in construction processes. This results in an instrument that feels right and is exciting to play, responding beautifully whether you are strumming hard or picking lightly.
