Artist Elite guitars look amazing, sound rich and offer a level of fit and finish rarely attainable at such price points.\u003cbr\u003eThe AGFM80CEARSHB is a beautifully designed Grand Auditorium with gorgeous darkly stained flamed maple backs \u0026amp; sides accompanying a fine Shadowburst finish. Excellent tonal qualities with power and finesse make the grand auditorium an all-round versatile instrument for most styles of music.\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss Shadowburst finish on Sitka Spruce creates a rich aesthetic that is perfectly framed by the ebony binding. This is a beautiful guitar and would be a great choice for gigging with its stunning looks and LR Baggs electronics.\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 soundbox.\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 a 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 tonewoods, and our crafted attenuated finish all further the quality of construction and 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\u003eALVAREZ ARTIST ELITE\u003cbr\u003eAGFM80CEARSHB\u003cbr\u003eARTIST ELITE GRAND AUDITORIUM AC ELECTRIC W\/SLIM BEVEL EDGE ARMREST, CUTAWAY, EQ \u0026amp; TUNER\u003cbr\u003e \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 Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Wood\u003cbr\u003eDark Tint AA Flamed Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShape\u003cbr\u003eGrand Auditorium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eMahogany w\/Semi-Gloss Finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBracing System\u003cbr\u003eMST1 - Scalloped X, Asymmetric Tones 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\u003eFlame Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pins\u003cbr\u003ePPS Synthetic Bone\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\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\u003ePRODUCT MATERIALS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries\u003cbr\u003eAlvarez Artist Elite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop Wood\u003cbr\u003eSolid AA Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop Finish\u003cbr\u003eShadowburst\/Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Wood\u003cbr\u003eDark Tint AA Flamed Maple\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\u003e17th Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets\u003cbr\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37855431164057,"sku":"5342","price":729.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0524\/4597\/0585\/files\/108241631_392.jpg?v=1759820373","url":"https:\/\/popsmusic.biz\/products\/agfm80cearshb-artist-elite-grand-auditorium-ac-electric-w-slim-bevel-edge-armrest-cutaway-eq-tun","provider":"Pop's Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
