Overview
The Alvarez MFA70CE is made from a hand selected, solid AA Sitka Spruce top, and solid, fully-cured East Indian Rosewood back and sides. Each component is made of natural material, including real bone saddles and nuts, Acacia Koa binding, Paua Abalone purflings, ebony bridge pins and green abalone inlays.
Masterworks guitars feature a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50/50 finish, premium tuners with ebony buttons, and 12th Fret abalone inlay. The Masterworks bracing system is forward shifted with scalloped, hand finished X braces that allow these guitars to project incredibly well. There's lots of sustain and dynamic response. Either strummed or picked, the separation and balance across the strings is unprecedented in this price range. The SYS650 pickup system accurately captures the raw power and detailed tonal textures of this expressive instrument.
Beautifully voiced, professional guitars made from all-solid, seasoned tone woods. All solid wood really does make a difference, and Alvarez made sure each Masterworks gets the best out their solid wood construction. They are very open sounding, powerful instruments with rounded notes and plenty of bass.

Well I was hesitant to order the guitar due to the "Blemished" status, I spoke with several customer reps about this and they couldn't tell me much accept that it would be a small cosmetic blemish.
I Prayed about it and decided to order the guitar, 2nd day air, zZounds was excellent getting the guitar out the door, it arrived about 3:30 pm on the second day, great communication and customer service.
As for the guitar, I've played plenty of Alvarez guitars before, but none that sound and play like the MFA70ce, the solid rosewood really works with the spruce to create a great sound! I could not be more happy with my new guitar and their service.
Oh yeah, as for the blemish...I still have not found any marks or problems I would consider a blemish! this is one beautiful guitar, for over half off the list price! unbelievable deal! and the case, while not being the top of the line wood case I hoped for, this case is still awesome, fits the guitar perfect, looks great, and has a built in hygrometer.
I give these guys 10 stars for their service! I will use them again!
Musical Background:
