Alvarez AF77E Grand Auditorium Limited Acoustic-Electric Guitar

If your songs are craving the complex, organic tones of a 20s or 30s vintage guitar, but you just can't stomach the vintage guitar price tag, you owe it to yourself to check out the Limited Edition AF77E Custom. These guitars are true to their vintage roots, and authentic all the way to the core.

Unlike other modern smaller-bodied acoustics, the AF77E's quarter-sawn, hand-sanded scalloped bracing is shifted back (away from the sound hole), staying true to the traditional designs of the time. The result is a slightly compressed throwback tone, but with modern output & projection that lends itself well to both fingerpicking and flatpicking, in standard or alternate tunings.

It's got all the snort and grit you'd expect from an old guitar this size, but with better tonal balance. The brilliant high-gloss finish really highlights the beauty of the walnut back and sides. The LR Baggs Element pickup with Stage Pro EQ guarantees every nuance of your acoustic tone makes it through to the PA or onto your plugged-in recordings. Throw in a genuine bone nut & saddle, a superior factory setup, and a fit and finish that is unheard of at this price, and the AF77E Custom just might wind up being your favorite songwriting partner!
