INTRODUCING
ALVAREZ ARTIST SERIES AF60CE FOLK ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC GUITAR NATURAL
The latest shipment includes the L.R. Baggs Stagepro Element™ pickup system. The L.R. Baggs Stagepro Element™ Preamp with Undersaddle Pickup combines the Stagepro Preamp and the Element pickup for your acoustic guitar. The preamp includes volume, treble, midrange, bass, notch filter and phase inversion controls, all in a package that measures just 3.5 inches by 2.8 inches by 2.2 inches and weighs just 5.6 ounces. The life of a nine-volt battery is expected to exceed 100 hours. The Stage Pro preamp has been custom tuned to work with the Element pickup, which provides excellent string-to-string balance for a natural sound. The result is a preamp-pickup combo that will let you hear what you’ve been missing with other electronics.
New Artist Series guitars from Alvarez look stunning and come in a huge variety of shapes, colors and wood choices. All of their components are made of natural materials such as mother of pearl and abalone inlays, real bone saddles and nuts and rosewood appointments. But the magic really starts when you pick one up and play it.
Each model is designed to get the best out if its components, and for them to work together to produce a tone and player experience, rarely found in affordable instruments.
The solid ‘A’ grade Sitka spruce and cedar tops are hand selected from quarter-sawn wood. This ensures consistent quality, and its no secret better guitars are made from better wood. Our tops not only look great but they are stiff and strong and finely grained.
This allows us to cut them just that tiny bit thinner, which lets them dance a little more and produce a lot more vibration, and ultimately a richer tone.
FEATURES
We set-up all our acoustic guitars before they leave our store.
This basic but professional service covers several check points including string tuning, polish & clean, testing of electronics, joint checks and adjusting the instrument neck to an optimum distance between fretboard and string.
Our set-up warranty will cover the following areas up to a year from the date of purchase:
1. Any buzzing issues up to the 12th fret, which is where guitar action is generally measured.
2. Addressing and resetting any potential bridge uplift issues within reasonable tolerance.
3. Repair and/or replacement of any electronics arising from any manufacturing defect.
Do note that guitars are made of wood and wood is susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity. These factors may limit adjustment or reconditioning work. We recommend that you set-up your guitar annually to protect your investment.
