Alvarez

An affordable nylon-string guitar with a spruce top, a narrow neck, and a built-in pickup and tuner.

The Alvarez RC16HCE Regent Series Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a great classical hybrid guitar and constructed using many of the same components and techniques used in building their higher end instruments. The nut is 2mm wider than standard dreadnought or folk guitars but 7mm narrower than a standard classical guitar, so it plays like an acoustic guitar neck but with nylon strings.

This acoustic-electric version has a 3-band EQ and cutaway and is equally at home on and off stage.

It has a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, classic tone woods that generate a warm and well-balanced tone. The neck profile on the Regent Series a little finer so they’re easier to play and every model is constructed using a dovetail neck joint that optimizes the transfer of energy between the neck and body.

This instrument has also been finished using an electrostatic painting process for a more even finish that uses less paint in its application. This allows the guitar to sing a little more and it also looks fantastic. It also has a PPS saddle and nut help to improve response and sustain.

Premium tuners deliver tuning stability.

Good guitar at a great price!

Comments about Alvarez RC16HCE Regent Series Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

I am a music professor and I need a good nylon strings guitar for my popular music ensamble with my students. It sounds better with amplification. Without amplification it sounds good but the color is quite dark and whimpy. I want to make enphasis on the point that this guitar dones not have the sound of a classical guitar, so if you expect to have the traditional sound of a classical guitar, this instrument is not a good alternative for you.

It is a good choice for educators, beguiners, workship or may be a demo. I do not recommend this guitar for pro performance, pro recordings or as a main instrument.
I like the preamp, it sounds ok. The tuner is good, the guitar sounds better with amplification. It does not have the sound of a regular classical guitar, the color of the sound is more dark. The feeling of play this guitar is quite diferent from a normal classical guitar.
I been use Alvarez for more than 20 years, I guarante they are good instruments. The construction is solid, high quality and well hand craft. This model easly compete with similar models made by Takamine, Ovation, Yamaha. Remember it is an ECONOMICAL guitar, so do not expect it to has the quality of an Alvarez expensive model. It is good for educational purpose, NOT FOR PROFESIONAL RECORDINGS NOT FOR PROFESIONAL PERFORMANCE.
It is worthy for the price you pay for. I do not need an expensive guitar for my classroom, so this economical model is great for educational purpose. I strongly recomend this model for beginers, for educators and for workship at church. You do not have to spend a fortune to sound good. I am a music professor and I need an economical and good nylon strings guitar for my popular music ensamble with my students.
