This Acoustic-electric is a Show Stopper
Be forewarned! If you take the Alvarez AG710CEAR for a test drive, then you’re likely to fall in love at first strum. This stunning acoustic-electric guitar offers a ton of projection, superb onboard electronics, and a comfortable playing experience that’s nearly impossible to find in this price range. The body features a solid Sitka spruce top over rosewood back and sides for a nuanced tone with warm lows; meanwhile, a forward-shifting bracing pattern that boosts its total volume and responsiveness. Fans of vintage necks will love the neck profile! It starts off as a soft "V" in the first position, slowly transitioning to a "C" shape as you navigate the upper frets. Other premium features on the AG710CEAR include a bone nut and saddle, an abalone rosette, a dovetail neck joint, and an ultra-comfortable beveled armrest.

A classic tonewood pairing
For the AG710CEAR, Alvarez chose to pair a solid Sitka spruce with rosewood back and sides. Sitka spruce is known for its excellent headroom and supreme note definition — all while projecting like a cannon. Meanwhile, rosewood’s fathomless tonal depth and notorious warmth provide a solid foundation for your playing. Together, the two tonewoods offer a nuanced sound with plenty of projection, treble clarity, and low-end punch. The guitar’s design is completed by a comfortable mahogany neck and a laurel fingerboard.
Your gigging companion
The Alvarez AG710CEAR guitar is built for a life of late-night gigs and Sunday morning strumming. It comes armed with active, Alvarez-designed electronics. The under-saddle piezo pickup pairs with the SYS250 preamp module to pump out amazing plugged-in tones; you’ll also appreciate the 4-band EQ, the built-in backlit tuner, and the master volume control. Playing fatigue isn’t an issue either, thanks to the comfortable beveled armrest. Want to know more about the Alvarez AG710CEAR? Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today!
