{"product_id":"age95ceshb","title":"Alvarez AEG95ce Shadowburst Artist Elite Series Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric Guitar - Shadowburst","description":"\u003cbr\u003eIn conceptualizing Artist Elite, our goal was simple: Produce a collection of guitars beyond comparison.\u003cbr\u003eThere are of course many wonderful guitars available, and some are every inch as beautiful as Artist Elite, but we don't know of any that offer the same value.\u003cbr\u003eThis stunning line of guitars is the culmination of years of R\u0026amp;D that allows us to produce custom style instruments from amazing tone woods with a truly radiant vibe. Artist Elite look amazing, sound rich and offer a level of fit and finish rarely attainable at such price points.\u003cbr\u003eThe AGE95CESHB is a beautifully developed Grand Auditorium with quite a rare and inspired pairing of tone woods. It's AA North Western Red Cedar top and Macassar Ebony body gives this guitar a really warm and open voicing with darker trebles and clear bass. Aesthetically the guitar is stunning with a lighter shade of our standard Shadowburst carefully crafted to let the grain of the wood stay visible right to the edge, where it is met with Ebony binding. This is a really great guitar with a true character to its sound and looks exceptional.\u003cbr\u003eAfter 50 years of making guitars, continual improvement through the use of emerging technologies, processes, and materials is still at the heart of our culture. Alvarez guitars are constructed correctly in every sense from raw material preparation to construction and manufacturing processes. Our tone woods are carefully cured; our components such as neck blocks and wood joints are carefully designed. The painting, sanding and polishing techniques we use are continually researched and developed, and our tone is impeccably crafted and married to a stable, designed and lively sound box.\u003cbr\u003eThe term \"solid top\" of course 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.\u003cbr\u003eEach 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. Our Bi-level bridge is designed to heighten string tension and improve sustain and response. Real bone nut and saddle, premium tone woods and our crafted attenuated finish all further the quality of construction a positively impact the performance of the instrument.\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eARTIST ELITE GRAND AUDITORIUM ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC W\/CUTAWAY\u003cbr\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries\u003cbr\u003eAlvarez Artist Elite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop Wood\u003cbr\u003eSolid AA Western Red Cedar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Wood\u003cbr\u003eMacassar Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShape\u003cbr\u003eGrand Auditorium w\/ Cutaway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eMahogany, 50\/50 Semi gloss finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBracing System\u003cbr\u003eMST1 - Tapered X Bracing With Asymmetric Tone Bars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge\u003cbr\u003eBi-Level Indian Laurel\/Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInlays\u003cbr\u003eAbalone \u0026amp; Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard\u003cbr\u003eIndian Laurel\/Rosewood w\/12th Fret Inlay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle\u003cbr\u003eReal Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTuner\u003cbr\u003ePremium Die Cast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBinding\u003cbr\u003eEbony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrings\u003cbr\u003eD'Addario EXP16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePickup \/ EQ\u003cbr\u003eLR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element Pick Up\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall Length (mm)\u003cbr\u003e1035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Width (mm)\u003cbr\u003e404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Depth at Heel (mm)\u003cbr\u003e96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Depth at Base (mm)\u003cbr\u003e116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale (mm)\u003cbr\u003e648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale (inches)\u003cbr\u003e25 1\/2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of frets\u003cbr\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNut Width (mm)\u003cbr\u003e44.45\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNut Width (inches)\u003cbr\u003e1?3\/4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT MATERIALS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries\u003cbr\u003eAlvarez Artist Elite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop Wood\u003cbr\u003eSolid AA Western Red Cedar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop Finish\u003cbr\u003eShadowburst\/Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Wood\u003cbr\u003eMacassar Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eADDITIONAL DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joint\u003cbr\u003eDovetail, extended neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Meets Body\u003cbr\u003e14th Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets\u003cbr\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37968381247641,"sku":"5636","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0524\/4597\/0585\/files\/108241988_385.jpg?v=1759820046","url":"https:\/\/popsmusic.biz\/products\/age95ceshb","provider":"Pop's Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
