ALVAREZ BLUES51WE TSB

ALVAREZ ARTIST BLUES TOBACCO SUNBURST GLOSS FINISH

The Alvarez Artist Blues Series delivers genre-specific instruments to capture the very essence of American music history. Body shapes, bracings and constructions were carefully considered before opening molds for our body shapes and finalizing specifications. Alvarez Blues guitars have a vintage vibe all the way with a small rectangle bridge, V profile neck, 2 ¼” string spacing and back shifted bracing to make these smaller-bodied guitars feel and sound just right. Tonally they deliver the compressed bluesy bark expected from such a design but the refined back-shifted, scalloped bracing adds more openness for a slightly more modern style projection.

KEY FEATURES

The 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.
