Alvarez ABT710CEARSHB Baritone Acoustic Electric Guitar, Shadow Burst, New Gig Bag

This stunning Artist Series Bevel Armrest Cutaway acoustic-electric baritone guitar is a premium twist on the best-selling ABT60. This baritone beautifully spec’d to achieve a great aesthetic and wonderful voicing. The flawless gloss Shadowburst finish works perfectly with its rosewood back and sides, which tonally accentuates the highs and lows to achieve room-filling bass frequencies and sublime trebles. The bevel armrest is a welcome addition, providing added comfort, and the cutaway and onboard SYS250 make this wonderful guitar ready for live work, too. Tuned from B to B, this Artist Series baritone is pitched between a dreadnought and acoustic bass to give you deep tones with easy playability. Chord shapes and scales are the same as a standard six-string electric, but the pitch is lower.

Alvarez Artist Series

After 50 years of making guitars, continual improvement through the use of emerging technologies, processes and materials is still at the heart of their culture. Alvarez guitars are constructed correctly in every sense from raw material preparation to construction and manufacturing processes. Alvarez's tonewoods are carefully cured; components such as neck blocks and wood joints are carefully designed. The painting, sanding and polishing techniques used are continually researched and developed, and the resulting guitar tone is impeccably crafted and married to a stable, designed and lively soundbox.

The term “solid top” refers to the soundboard of an acoustic guitar being made of solid wood, rather than being laminated. However, just because the top is solid, it does not necessarily mean the sound automatically benefits from this feature. The tone of the instrument only improves significantly when the whole guitar is built correctly to optimize the energy a solid soundboard can generate. Artist Series is built to do exactly this. Each model is designed to get the best out of its components, and for them to work together to produce balance, lively projection and great response. These components include a bracing architecture that is specifically designed for each body shape or tonal requirement.

The Alvarez Bi-level bridge is designed to heighten string tension and improve sustain and response. Real bone nut and saddle, premium tonewoods and their crafted attenuated finish all further the quality of construction and positively impact the performance of the instrument. This caring approach to development comes from one simple goal: To deliver the best guitars in the market at every price point, instruments that are truly amazing value and offer a fantastic player experience.
