Alvarez AMPE915EAR Artist Elite Parlor Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Solid AA Cedar & Ebony, Satin Finish, Bi-level Bridge

Alvarez spent years developing the Artist Elite series of acoustic-electric instruments, focusing on creating high-end guitars at a budget-friendly price. The Alvarez AMPE915EARSHB Parlor acoustic-electric guitar is a prime illustration, boasting a warm, inviting sound and stunning aesthetics. This parlor guitar features a solid AA North Western red cedar soundboard and Macassar ebony body, creating a rich, open tone ideal for fingerstyle playing and intimate performances. The cedar top contributes a smoother voice and richer harmonic complexity, perfectly paired with the ebony back and sides that add strong low-end and clear treble. The Alvarez Artist Elite Parlor’s mahogany neck with a smooth satin finish and Indian laurel fretboard provides a comfortable playing feel. The Alvarez SYS100 preamp and onboard controls, combined with a real bone nut and saddle, and premium chrome tuners, ensure a clear and robust amplified sound. This Alvarez parlor guitar is perfect for various settings, from campfire sing-alongs to coffeehouse performances, offering a unique blend of tonewoods and craftsmanship that sets it apart as a premium parlor acoustic-electric guitar.

The Alvarez Artist Elite Parlor features peerless construction that maximizes the guitar’s tonal capabilities. Alvarez’s meticulous design includes carefully optimized internal bracing patterns that bring out the full potential of the guitar’s solid soundboard. The bi-level bridge is engineered to enhance sustain and response by increasing string tension, producing a singing voice that’s full and vibrant. The SYS100 pickup system is discreetly integrated, maintaining the guitar’s traditional aesthetic and providing a plug-and-play solution for amplified settings. With its parlor size, the guitar is an excellent option for those who enjoy finger-picking, subtle vocal backing, or a versatile, go-anywhere instrument.
