In conceptualizing Artist Elite, Alvarez's goal was simple: “produce a collection of guitars that are beyond comparison”.

There are of course many wonderful guitars available, and some are every inch as beautiful as Artist Elite, but we don’t know of any that offer the same value.

This stunning line of guitars is the culmination of years of R&D that allows Alvarez to produce custom style instruments from amazing tone woods with a truly radiant vibe. Artist Elite look amazing, sound rich and offer a level of fit and finish rarely attainable at such price points.

Artist Elite showcases premium grade solid Sitka, Mahogany, Walnut, Cedar and Figured Acacia tops under Alvarez's crystal clear, attenuated gloss finish. All models are cutaway acoustic electric fitted the fantastic LR Baggs StagePro Element.

This guitar is used and does have signs of use, small scratches and dings. There is some minor finish cracking near the nut (pictured above), but it has not affected the wood or playability of the guitar.
