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 venation to escape while adding enough stiffness to achieve great clarity, separation and even volume across all six strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cutaway model allows for easy access up the neck and is fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze. The StagePro Bronze is a small-footprint side-mounted EQ incorporating the renowned LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup. This is a low-profile unit with a large backlit tuner, volume, bass and treble controls and phase. The battery box is built into the end pin jack compartment for easy access with a simple push to open and change batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sizep18\"\u003eAbout Artist Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlvarez Artist Series represents their commitment to quality and care. Their goal is to create an instant bond between you and your guitar through meticulous design in bracing, voicing and overall construction. Every component—from their bi-level bridge to their solid bridge plates and neck blocks—is carefully considered to deliver the best response possible from solid-top construction. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eArtist Series guitars are responsive with impressive projection and balance that make them both rewarding and inspiring to play. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith a huge selection of body shapes and wood configurations, Artist Series has a guitar for everyone. For a more focused, woody tone, choose a Mahogany top. For a broader, more open projection, choose Sitka. For a warm response to a lighter, melodic touch, choose Cedar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sizep18\"\u003eAlvarez's Approach to the Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of their solid tops are selected by their team and graded independently of their suppliers. If it isn’t worthy, it isn’t used. Their laminated backs and sides are uniquely constructed with Mahogany as our middle layer, and our inner and outer layers are always matched. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist guitars strike the right balance between strength and vibration, crafting a voice to both inspire and give players “tools in the tone.” Alongside this approach to development lies our respect for sourcing, preparation and nurturing the wood we use to make our guitars. No matter how considered design may be, it can only be as good as the wood we use to realize them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir all-solid wood tops, backs and sides, as well as the mahogany used for their necks, go through a curing process developed over years to create stability, strength and tonal benefits. Depending on the wood and its use, this process takes many months or even years for some of our models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter months-long seasoning, they perform an extra drying stage in thermo-kilns to further enhance wood stability and improve resonance. They call this process ATR—Advanced Tonal Response. ATR™ is a form of torrefaction—oxygen controlled, vacuum curing at special temperatures to remove more moisture and volatiles such as saps and sugars from the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis does two things:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eATR™ makes their wood more stable when exposed to adverse dry or humid climates. While we can’t stop the effects of dryness or moisture saturation that can damage guitars, ATR™ goes a long way in helping our guitars become more resilient. Guitars will move or change according to the environment they are in and are more likely to move within the first two years from their production. A guitar usually becomes drier as it ages; this is one of the reasons why players often like the sound of an older guitar. ATR™ advances the natural, post-build drying process so the wood behaves as if it were more mature, stable, and resonant from the first day it is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effects of ATR™ are also audible in the instrument. The biggest difference is the clarity and separation between notes and the overall response of the guitar. As the top is drier, it’s also quicker, more resonant, more open, even louder. New guitars can sometimes take time to reach this state as the wood dries over the years. ATR accelerates this effect to deliver a more sophisticated and complex voicing from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir caring approach to development comes from one unwavering goal: To deliver the best guitars in the market at every price point—instruments of a truly remarkable value that offer an unparalleled player experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThank you for choosing Alvarez.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 name=\"Key Features\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Top Wood\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eSolid A+ Sitka Spruce\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Back and Sides Wood\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBack and Sides Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eMaple\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Top Color\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop Color: \u003c\/b\u003eNatural\/Gloss\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Back \u0026amp; Sides Color\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Color: \u003c\/b\u003eNatural\/Gloss\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Headstock Facia\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Facia: \u003c\/b\u003eEast Indian Rosewood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Bridge Pins\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins: \u003c\/b\u003ePPS Synthetic Bone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Shape\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShape: \u003c\/b\u003eJumbo\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Neck\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck: \u003c\/b\u003eMaple\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Pick Up\/EQ\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePick Up\/EQ: \u003c\/b\u003eLR Baggs StagePro Bronze\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Bracing\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBracing: \u003c\/b\u003eFST2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Bridge\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003eBi-Level Indian Rosewood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Inlays\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInlays: \u003c\/b\u003eMOP \u0026amp; Arylic\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Fingerboard\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard: \u003c\/b\u003eEast Indian Rosewood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Nut and Saddle\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut and Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Tuner\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTuner: \u003c\/b\u003eChrome Closed Gears\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Strings\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStrings: \u003c\/b\u003eD'Addario EXP36\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Neck Meets Body\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Meets Body: \u003c\/b\u003e14th\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Number of Frets\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e21\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Number of Frets\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Number of Frets\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 name=\"DIMENSIONS\"\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Overall Length (mm)\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Length (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e1093\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Width (mm)\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Width (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e420\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Depth at Heel (mm)\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Depth at Heel (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e102\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Depth at Base (mm)\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Depth at Base (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e124\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Scale (mm)\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScale (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e648\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Scale (inches)\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScale (inches): \u003c\/b\u003e25 1\/2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Nut Width (mm)\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Width (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e48\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Nut Width (inches)\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Width (inches): \u003c\/b\u003e1 8\/9\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46437518770419,"sku":"04ALV093","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/AJ80ce-12-String_Front-1CRP.jpg?v=1756949158","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/alvarez-aj-80ce-12-string-cutaway-acoustic-electric-jumbo-guitar-natural","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
