<p><em>*From Alvarez*</em></p>
<p>The AEG70ce is a beautifully responsive Grand Auditorium guitar delivering glistening trebles and a robust, clear bass response that makes this guitar suitable for most styles of music and playing. It has an understated elegance with striking contrast between the natural AA Sitka top and dark Indian rosewood back and sides. The bevel armrest is also made from Rosewood, which lets it blend into the guitar’s aesthetic, while adding a level of sophistication to the overall look of the guitar.<br /><br />The AEG70ce is fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze. The StagePro Bronze is a small-footprint side-mounted EQ incorporating the renowned LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup. This is a low-profile unit with a large backlit tuner, volume, bass and treble controls and phase. The battery box is built into the end pin jack compartment for easy access with a simple push to open and change batteries.</p>
<p>About Artist Elite Series<br />Alvarez Artist Elite is our series of solid-top guitars with a custom style vibe made with premium materials and appointments. Exotic woods, bevel armrests and wood bindings give the series a rich aesthetic, enhanced by a flawless gloss finish, radiant and thinly applied, to increase response.</p>
<p>Artist Elite features tonewoods such as African Mahogany, Macassar Ebony, East Indian Rosewood, Acacia and Flamed Maple, framed in Ebony, Rosewood or Maple binding. We craft a slim armrest on our Grand Auditoriums with a slightly thicker bevel on the Dreadnought for more comfortable playing experience. All Elites are cutaway, acoustic-electric models, fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze.</p>
