Alvarez Laureate 70E Dreadnought Acoustic Electric Guitar

Includes Gig Bag

The Alvarez Laureate 70E Dreadnought Acoustic Electric Guitar from the Laureate Series embodies meticulous craftsmanship and premium materials, delivering exceptional quality and performance.

Handcrafted Excellence:The Laureate Series represents a bench-made approach to guitar construction, where every component is meticulously selected for optimal quality. From the bridge plate to the bracing and kerfing, each part is carefully chosen to ensure structural integrity and superior sound production.

Hand-Finished Bracing:Featuring FS6 bracing, hand-sanded for precision and crafted from quartersawn Sitka spruce, the bracing pattern enhances overall response and vibration. This attention to detail elevates the guitar's tonal clarity and projection.

Finest Tonewoods: Crafted with the finest tonewoods available, the Laureate 70E boasts AAAA solid North American Sitka spruce for the top and solid East Indian rosewood for the back and sides. These premium materials contribute to the guitar's rich, resonant tone and exceptional playability.

Flawless Finish: Alvarez has perfected its sanding and painting process to deliver a flawless, deep shine with the thinnest clear coat ever achieved. The addition of the Daybreak color option provides a vintage-style aesthetic depth to the top, enhancing its visual appeal.

Premium Appointments: Featuring bridges, fingerboards, and headstock plates made from the finest African ebony, the Laureate 70E offers articulate clarity and note separation. The use of rare Blue Abalone inlays adds a touch of luxury to the guitar's understated elegance.

Traditional Styling: With its traditional body shape inspired by guitars from the late 1800s to the 1930s, the Laureate series maintains a classic aesthetic. The single-level ebony bridge pays homage to traditional guitar designs while ensuring optimal sound transmission.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.

If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.

Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain /  colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument.
