Description

Alvarez Artist Series

The Alvarez Artist Series takes a customised approach that adds a unique quality to every instrument in the range. Comprising of classic tonewoods, bevelled armrests on the body, and an overall rich aesthetic, the Artist Series delivers incredible, unparalleled ound and style.

Here’s what Alvarez has to say about the Alvarez Artist Jumbo Cutaway Spruce top Maple back Natural LR Baggs SPB

Made the way Jumbo guitars should be, the AJ80CE is big, blonde and powerful, with a broad, articulate projection, lots of low end and shimmering trebles.

Like all Artist Series guitars, our jumbos are designed to offer a rewarding playing experience. In this model we use our FST2 bracing system which works so well with the amount of air volume a large guitar body produces. The forward shifted pattern with asymmetric scalloped tone bars allows the vibration to escape while adding enough stiffness to achieve great clarity, separation and even volume across all six strings.

This CE model is fitted with the wonderful LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pick up for a great live experience.

Natural

Natural guitars showcase the beauty of the wood itself, with finishes that highlight the grain, colour, and character of each piece. Favoured by players who appreciate simplicity and authenticity, natural finishes let the instrument’s craftsmanship and tonewoods speak for themselves. Whether it’s the warm glow of mahogany or the bright shimmer of maple, a natural guitar has a timeless, organic look that never goes out of style. These instruments often feel more connected to their acoustic roots, offering both visual elegance and a sense of purity that appeals to musicians across all genres.
