You’ll be right at home with the Alvarez AG70CE if you clamor for a 12-string acoustic-electric guitar with equally striking visual and sonic aesthetics.Masterful construction for superlative sound Establishing a solid sonic foundation is integral to a guitar’s voicing, and the 12-string AG70CE is brimming with character. Its back and sides are constructed from expertly selected rosewood, known for its versatile and reactive range, yielding sonorous lows that morph into crystalline highs, all without compromising articulation throughout its registers. The AG70CE’s top comprises solid A+ Sitka spruce, a tonewood with dimensional stability and resounding resonance to elicit the elusive intersection of punchy, straightforward tone while retaining plenty of headroom, readily supporting all manners of strumming and picking styles — perfect for the creative possibilities afforded by its 12-string design. Its mahogany neck complements the slightly scooped midrange sonics of the rosewood back and sides, blooming with overtones and rich in harmonics. Meanwhile, its Indian rosewood fingerboard imparts a smooth, glassy veneer to your tone.Cutting-edge bracing meets heritage-fueled design Alvarez continuously innovates with an ongoing dedication to research and development to bring out the best in every instrument, and this 12-string AG70CE features its state-of-the-art FST2 forward-shifted bracing system. This allows the instrument to reduce weight while bolstering voicing to harmonious effect, moving the X-shaped brace closer to the sound hole to enlarge the soundboard area near the bridge. The resulting increase in vibration is channeled through the tone bars to deliver dynamic voicing that opens every register while bolstering bass-level frequencies.Moreover, the onboard LR Baggs StagePro Bronze preamp and Element pickup faithfully capture these sonics. The accompanying control scheme’s volume control, 2-band EQ, phase adjustment, and tuner let you refine your sound further. Alvarez-produced tuning machines and a bi-level Indian rosewood bridge, complete with a bone saddle, bookend the 25.5-inch scale, guiding its strings through a 1.75-inch bone nut.Why put your trust in Alvarez?
