Alvarez Laureate Folk 70e 'Blacktop' Acoustic Electric Guitar

Includes Gig Bag

The Alvarez Laureate LF70e is a stunningly refined folk-style acoustic-electric that represents the pinnacle of Alvarez craftsmanship. Featuring a AAA solid Sitka spruce top with a striking gloss black finish and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar offers a deeply expressive voice with remarkable clarity and dynamic range. Carefully hand-selected components, from ebony appointments to the premium FS6 bracing system, ensure every aspect of the instrument enhances tonal performance and visual elegance.

Its FS6 forward-shifted bracing is individually hand-sanded from quartersawn Sitka to optimise responsiveness and resonance. The ebony fingerboard and bridge add to the note separation and articulation, while ornate abalone inlays provide a touch of understated luxury. Equipped with an LR Baggs HiFi pickup system, the LF70e is a superb choice for the stage or studio, blending vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern tonal precision.

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.
