Artist Series AD610CE Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Alverez Artist Series AD610CE Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar is the acoustic-electric version of the AD60, which is fitted with the SYS650 blend system EQ w/tuner, developed by B-BAND.

In terms of value, the AD610CE is probably one of the best guitars Alvarez have ever made. Care was taken to get the construction just right to allow this series to sing, and deliver a player experience that™s so good; it™s probably revolutionary for a mid price instrument. Whether you'e looking for a dreadnought, folk or something a little more niche such as a baritone, grand auditorium or bass, Artist Series has them all.

The term œsolid top 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 really release the energy a solid soundboard can generate. The all-new Artist Series is built to do exactly this. The sound is warm, open and powerful, and both the treble and bass registers are clearly present and balanced in relation to each other.

SYS650 dual pickup
The Alvarez SYS650 was designed by B-BAND and is a dual pickup system incorporating one under saddle pickup and a transducer pickup placed under the soundboard. Either pickup can be selected or one can blend between the two to fine tune the response for lead, finger-picking or rhythm work. The system also has a fully chromatic, precision tuner with backlit LCD screen, 3-bands of rotary EQ, and a notch control that can be used to attenuate feedback or to shape the sound.
