Alvarez Artist Elite Series: “There 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".
This is the opening line of this elite series on their website. And I believe in it. Because I own one of their series and whatever they are saying about offering value is truly unmatched.
The woods they use to make these guitars are exotic premium grades of woods. On the top is one of these: Sitka, Mahogany, Walnut, Cedar and Figured Acacia tops with an absolutely stunning gloss finish.
On the back of the guitar, you have wood options like Macassar Ebony, Walnut, Figured Acacia or Flamed Maple. All modes are gorgeous wood bounded.
The Tone is rich and exotic. Awesome for recording in the studios and live playing. Look wise, people will come and ask you ,is it a guitar worth lakhs of rupees? And it will make you happier even. Lol!
