Exquisite Features for Emerging Artists

The Artist AC70 classical acoustic guitar by Alvarez boasts an unforgettable blend of quality and price! With solid tonewoods such as a Sitka spruce top and a rosewood fingerboard, the Artist AC70 sings with professional tone that makes any advancing player or pro in need of a backup feel right at home. The Sitka spruce top responds fluidly to dynamic playing, offering a roaring, powerful sound when needed while helping keep softer notes present and full. Sweetwater players love the Artist AC70’s sound, but especially appreciate its comfortable feel and ritzy hardware. A premium bone nut and saddle, along with Alvarez tuners and a rosewood bridge, keep string action fluid with the full range required for rich classical performances. And, like all of Alvarez’s artist series, the Artist AC70 gifts players a stylish instrument that’s poised for greatness. Discover what an authentic classical guitar can look and feel like with the Alvarez Artist AC70 from Sweetwater!

Solid tonewoods fuel professional performance

The Alvarez Artist AC70 classical guitar is crafted with player-favorite tonewoods for a professional sound and playability that empowers! The AC70’s solid Sitka spruce top has an A+ tonewood rating, denoting a quality weight and excellent sonic properties. The Sitka spruce top responds well to loud and soft playing, an expressive quality that lets classical players immerse themselves in the music. The articulate sound of rosewood back and sides keeps notes distinct with a strong clarity perfectly suited for intricate fingerpicking. A mahogany neck with a “D” neck carve promotes good posture with comfortable access to the AC70’s smooth rosewood fingerboard. Meanwhile, Spanish-style spruce fan bracing inside the sound chamber balances projection for treble, bass, and midrange that harmonize without clashing.

Detailed appointments

Finer details prove that the Artist AC70 classical acoustic guitar gives players a superb instrument with superb value! A bone nut and bone saddle let strings ring with depth and sustain that plastic alternatives simply can't match. Sturdy Alvarez tuning machines help you find the right sound and hold it steady, which frees you to focus on performance, posture, and technique rather than on tuning breaks. Alvarez also gets that a captivating guitar inspires confidence and backs that up with elegant touches, including a rosewood bridge, a rosewood headstock overlay, and a wood rosette.

  • Solid A+ Sitka spruce top supports a professional, dynamic sound
  • Rosewood back and sides keep each note distinct while infusing them with rich tonal depth
