{"product_id":"alvarez-ac65hce-classical-acoustic-electric-guitar","title":"Alvarez AC65HCE Artist Series Classical with Cutaway and Electronics - Natural","description":"\u003cbr\u003eAlvarez uses traditional style construction for its entire classical guitar line incorporating a Spanish heel neck joint and tapered fan bracing to deliver stability, balance and volume across all six strings. The Artist 65's are very responsive guitars with a warm and open tone.\u003cbr\u003eThis acoustic electric hybrid model is fitted with the fantastic LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pick up for optimal live performance. It also has a narrower nut width than a standard classical guitar, with a radius fingerboard and neck that joins at the 14th fret instead of the 12th. Favored by steel string players looking for the nylon string sound and feel.\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, consistent and lively sound box.\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\u003eWe believe our multi award winning Artist Series is one of the finest solid top guitar lines in the world today and demonstrates our commitment to design.\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 if its components, and for them to work together to produce balance, lively projection and great response. These components include our hand finished, scalloped bracing, real bone nuts and saddles, great quality tone woods and thin finish.\u003cbr\u003eAll of our tops are selected by our team and graded independently of our suppliers. If it isn't worthy, we won't use it. Top quality improves as you move up the Artist Series models but all are stiff and finely grained.\u003cbr\u003eArtist Series also demonstrates our great finishing capabilities; the gloss models have a clear deep shine from a finish that is applied as thinly as possible, again to help optimize tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALVAREZ ARTIST\u003cbr\u003eAC65HCE\u003cbr\u003eARTIST 65 SERIES CLASSICAL HYBRID ELECTRIC, NATURAL GLOSS FINISH\u003cbr\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries\u003cbr\u003eAlvarez Artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop Wood\u003cbr\u003eSolid A+ Western Red Cedar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Wood\u003cbr\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShape\u003cbr\u003eClassical 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\u003eTraditional Spanish Fan System\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge\u003cbr\u003eBi-Level Indian Laurel\/Rosewood\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\u003eTuners\u003cbr\u003eChrome Open Gear Strip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall Length (mm)\u003cbr\u003e1016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Width (mm)\u003cbr\u003e373\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\u003e103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale (mm)\u003cbr\u003e650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale (inches)\u003cbr\u003e25 19\/32\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of frets\u003cbr\u003e22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNut Width (mm)\u003cbr\u003e48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNut Width (inches)\u003cbr\u003e1 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT MATERIALS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries\u003cbr\u003eAlvarez Artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop Wood\u003cbr\u003eSolid A+ Western Red Cedar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop Finish\u003cbr\u003eNatural\/Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Wood\u003cbr\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eADDITIONAL DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joint\u003cbr\u003eSpanish Heel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Meets Body\u003cbr\u003e14th Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets\u003cbr\u003e22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e?\u003cbr\u003e?\u003cbr\u003e\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":37973229666457,"sku":"4767","price":519.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0524\/4597\/0585\/files\/AlvarezAC65Hce_Left_3-4.png?v=1753307752","url":"https:\/\/popsmusic.biz\/products\/alvarez-ac65hce-classical-acoustic-electric-guitar","provider":"Pop's Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
