Alvarez Blues 51 Arched Back Acoustic Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
Sometimes simple designs yield the best results. The combination of a compact body, arched back and 12-fret neck gives the Blues 51 impressive projection.

Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. That's definitely the case with the Alvarez Blues 51. It's a unique combination of a 12-fret neck, a 00-size body, and an arched back, and the result is pure tonal magic. A taut low-end, a throaty midrange, and smooth, mellow highs just gush out of it. Play this thing with a slide and it'll make your arm hairs stand up. The neck profile is the perfect soft V, and it feels broken in straight out of the box. And with a genuine bone nut & saddle, you'll get maximum energy transfer from the strings to the neck & body for impressive output & projection from a smaller-bodied instrument. If you're looking for easy playability, unique tonal character, and good ol' fashioned vibe, look no further - the Blues 51 has mojo like no other!

Great little guitar!! I'm hooked on theses parlor size guitars. They're perfect for singing and playing without a microphone. Full size acoustics can over power vocals whe there's no microphone being used. zZounds is so easy to work with. The service is second to none!!
