Alvarez Artist Classical Guitar A/E Hybrid with Cutaway – AC65Hce

The Alvarez Artist Classical Guitar A/E Hybrid with Cutaway (AC65Hce) is a true fusion of tradition and innovation, designed to bridge the gap between classical and steel-string playability. This modern hybrid guitar is crafted with fan-style bracing for impeccable clarity and balance across all six strings. Its design includes a unique 14th-fret neck joint, narrower nut width, and a radiused fingerboard, making it especially comfortable for steel-string players transitioning to nylon strings.

With a solid A+ Western Red Cedar top and African Mahogany back and sides, this guitar delivers a warm, open tone that resonates beautifully, perfect for fingerstyle playing with quick, responsive clarity. The cutaway body design offers easy access to the upper frets, while the high-quality LR Baggs StagePro Bronze electronics system ensures exceptional amplified performance. Whether unplugged or on stage, the AC65Hce provides a distinct nylon sound with familiar comfort for steel-string guitarists.
