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.
