Artist Elite Series
There
are many wonderful guitars available, and some are every inch as
beautiful as Artist Elite, but t
his
stunning line of guitars is the culmination of years of R&D that allows Alvarez to produce custom-style instruments crafted from amazing tonewoods with a truly
radiant vibe. Artist Elite guitars look amazing, sound rich and offer a level of fit
and finish rarely attainable at such price points.
After 50 years of making guitars, continual improvement through the use of emerging technologies, processes, and materials is still at the heart of Alvarez culture. Alvarez guitars are constructed correctly in every sense, from raw material preparation to construction and manufacturing processes. Their 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 tone is impeccably crafted and married to a stable, consistent and lively sound box.
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 Elite guitars are 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 bracing architecture that is specifically designed for each
body shape or tonal requirement. Alvarez’s bi-level bridge is designed to heighten
string tension and improve sustain and response. Real bone nut and saddle,
premium tonewoods and Alvarez’s crafted attenuated finishes all further the quality of
construction and positively impact the performance of the instrument.
