AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Alvarez LD70EHFHBSS Laureate Dreadnought is a masterclass in premium acoustic guitar craftsmanship. Built with bench-made precision, this guitar features an AAA solid North American Sitka spruce top paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a rich, open voice with exceptional balance and projection. Hand-finished FS6 bracing enhances resonance and dynamic response, while a flawless Sunset gloss finish with herringbone trim gives the LD70E an elegant vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Appointed with ebony components throughout—including the bridge, fingerboard, and headstock plate—the LD70E offers exceptional articulation and clarity. Premium blue abalone inlays and ivoroid binding add understated luxury, while LR Baggs HiFi electronics ensure your tone is captured naturally on stage or in the studio. For discerning players seeking uncompromising tone, feel, and style, the Laureate Series represents the pinnacle of Alvarez design.
