Alvarez AC65HCE Artist Series Classical Hybrid Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural

Artist Classical The AC65Hce is constructed in the traditional sense with fan-style bracing for both clarity and balance across all six strings. A phenomenal hybrid, this modern instrument bridges the gap between steel string and nylon string guitars. The 65Hce is joined at the 14th fret, unlike a traditional classical guitar which is joined at the 12th, making this feel more familiar to steel-string players. It features a narrower nut width than standard classical guitars and has a radiused fingerboard, rather than flat. All carefully considered details culminate in less of a departure from steel string familiarity for those players looking for a nylon string sound. The AC65 features a high-quality Western Red Cedar for a warm voice with an open projection, ideally suited for fingerstyle playing with a quick and clear response. This cutaway model allows for easy access up the neck and 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.   Key Features Top Wood: Solid A+ Western Red Cedar Back and Sides Wood: African Mahogany Top Color: Natural/Gloss Back & Sides Color: Natural/Semi Gloss Headstock Facia: Indian Laurel Shape: Classical Neck: African Mahogany Pick Up/EQ: LR Baggs StagePro Bronze Bracing: Tradtional Fan Bridge: Indian Laurel Inlays: MOP Fingerboard: Indian Laurel Nut and Saddle: Bone Tuner: Chome Plate w/Black Buttons Strings: D'Addario EXP46N Neck Meets Body: 14th Fret Number of Frets: 22 DIMENSIONS Overall Length (mm): 1032 Body Width (mm): 374 Body Depth at Heel (mm): 96 Body Depth at Base (mm): 104 Scale (mm): 650 Scale (inches): 25 19/32 Nut Width (mm): 48 Nut Width (inches): 1 7/8
