The Best of Acoustic and Classical Guitar at a Great Price
Considering picking up the guitar for the first time or adding the sound and style of a reliable classical to your toy collection? Turn to the AC65HCE Artist series classical hybrid acoustic-electric guitar for quality construction and stellar sound at a steal. By combining hybrid construction techniques and premium electronics with Alvarez's decades of pumping out great instruments, the Artist 65 feels and sounds just as incredible as it looks, topped with solid Western red cedar for a visual pop and additional richness. In contrast to traditional classical guitars, the AC65HCE boasts a narrower nut width similar to an acoustic guitar as well as a neck that joins at the 14th fret for easier access to the upper register. The perks are far from over, as Alvarez went with traditional Spanish fan bracing as well as a genuine bone nut and saddle for a significant sustain boost. With features and attention to detail like this, Alvarez's AC65HCE classical hybrid guitar is a worthy addition to any player's arsenal.

Top-notch tonewoods deliver excellent response and incredible warmth
With over a half-century of designing and crafting exquisite acoustic instruments under their belt, it's no surprise that Alvarez's AC65HCE continues this tradition in strides. Though priced for practically any budget, this 6-string's top-quality tonewoods deliver sonic warmth and far-reaching resonance fit for stages and studios of all kinds. To do just that, the AC65HCE starts with mahogany for the back and sides joined to a solid Western red cedar top — Sweetwater classical guitarists were elated to find a solid top adorning this wallet-friendly instrument, imbuing additional depth and a leaping response whether you're picking, strumming, or playing fingerstyle. Its mahogany neck feels sturdy and smooth in your fretting hand, capped with Indian laurel for a silky playing experience in any position.
Comfortable hybrid features for versatile crossover guitarists
From high-class concert halls to classical recitals, there’s always a time and place for the traditional classical guitar. However, if you’re after a slightly more modern and versatile instrument, you’d do well to check out the Alvarez AC65HCE! This guitar’s 14-fret neck joint, deep cutaway, and slimmed-down 1.875-inch nut width are sure to feel right at home with guitarists coming from the steel-string world. Moreover, a 15-inch radius supplies a much more comfortable feel for the guitarist used to a rounded neck, as traditional classical guitars forgo a radius entirely for a dead flat fingerboard!
