The Alvarez AC65Hce offers classical guitarists the best of both worlds. This hybrid nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar blends the warm, mellow tone of nylon strings with the familiar playability of a steel-string guitar. Built with high-quality tonewoods and premium components, the AC65Hce is designed for fingerstyle players seeking an inspiring instrument with a quick response and open, balanced sound across all six strings.
Solid A+ Western Red Cedar Top, African Mahogany Back and Sides
The AC65Hce features a solid A+-grade western red cedar top and African mahogany back and sides, a pairing known for producing a warm yet focused tone with clear note definition. The cedar top is carefully braced for even responsiveness and to allow the top to vibrate freely, resulting in impressive resonance and sustain. You'll appreciate the AC65Hce's balanced, articulate voice whether played unplugged or amplified.
Comfortable Playability from Steel-String Inspired Design
While the AC65Hce has a classical guitar's wider fingerboard and nylon strings, its neck joins the body at the 14th fret instead of the 12th, providing familiar spacing for steel-string players. Its radiused fingerboard and narrower nut also facilitate comfortable chording and single-note runs. These considered details create an instrument with classical guitar tone that feels instantly familiar to steel-string players seeking to explore nylon-string sounds.
Cutaway and Premium Electronics Provide Versatility
A single cutaway gives you full access to the AC65Hce's upper frets. When amplified, its LR Baggs StagePro Bronze pickup and side-mounted preamp help you shape your tone with volume, bass and treble controls as well as a built-in tuner. This high-quality electronics system accurately conveys the resonant, nuanced sound of the AC65Hce's tonewoods and nylon strings. You'll have everything needed to take your music from practice to performance.
Mother-of-Pearl Rosette and Inlays for Premium Aesthetic
The Alvarez AC65Hce is crafted with premium components like real bone nut and saddle, mother-of-pearl rosette and fingerboard inlays and a high-gloss finish. Premium materials throughout the AC65Hce enhance both tone and aesthetics. It features an Indian laurel bridge, fingerboard and headstock overlay along with multiple body, neck and headstock binding highlighting the AC65Hce's refined construction.
