Description
Alvarez uses traditional style construction for their entire classical guitar line, incorporating a Spanish heel neck joint and tapered fan bracing to deliver stability, balance, and even volume across all six strings. The Artist 65 guitars are highly responsive, offering a warm and open tone that appeals to discerning players.
This acoustic-electric hybrid model is equipped with the exceptional LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pickup system for outstanding live performance. The AC65HCE also features a slightly narrower nut width than a standard classical guitar, along with a radius fingerboard and a neck that joins at the 14th fret instead of the 12th—making it an ideal choice for steel-string players seeking the nylon-string tone and feel.
The multi-award-winning Artist Series represents Alvarez’s dedication to quality and design, making it one of the finest solid-top guitar ranges available today. Whether you prefer a focused mahogany top, an open and projecting Sitka spruce top, or a warm and responsive cedar top, each model is crafted to deliver exceptional tonal character and playability.
All tops are hand-selected and independently graded by the Alvarez team to ensure only the finest tonewoods are used. Every aspect of construction—from material preparation and wood curing to sanding, finishing, and assembly—is carefully refined to achieve consistent excellence. Alvarez guitars are designed with precision components, including thoughtfully engineered neck joints and blocks, and feature advanced painting and polishing techniques to enhance tone and durability.
This meticulous approach ensures that each guitar delivers exceptional value and an inspiring player experience. The solid top design is optimized through Alvarez’s proprietary construction techniques, allowing the soundboard to fully express its tonal potential. Each model is carefully voiced for balance, lively projection, and responsive dynamics.
The Artist Series incorporates Alvarez’s FS6 bracing design, promoting resonance and consistency across various body shapes—from Dreadnought and Grand Auditorium to OM and Parlor. The bi-level bridge enhances string tension, sustain, and tonal clarity, while real bone nut and saddle, premium tonewoods, and thin gloss finishes contribute to an open, dynamic sound that responds beautifully to your playing touch.
