Alvarez AEG80ce Artist Elite Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric Guitar

Includes Gig Bag

The Alvarez AEG80ce Artist Elite Grand Auditorium is a visually striking, sonically rich acoustic-electric built for modern performers. A solid AA Sitka spruce top paired with flamed maple back and sides delivers brilliant projection, shimmering highs, and a balanced low end, all wrapped in a sleek natural gloss finish. A slim ebony bevel armrest adds real playing comfort, while the Grand Auditorium body shape keeps the guitar versatile across fingerstyle, folk, strumming, and soloing.

An LR Baggs StagePro Bronze pickup system keeps the AEG80ce stage-ready with clarity and warmth when plugged in, and the cutaway body gives full access to the upper frets. Premium components including the East Indian rosewood fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, and chrome tuners round out both tone and playability, making this guitar ideal for gigging, recording, or writing at home.
