Alvarez ALJ2E Artist Little Jumbo Travel Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Natural Satin)

Small body acoustic guitars can be the perfect companion, which is one reason demand never seems to slow. With a few tweaks and careful design, small body guitars can sound fantastic and much louder and balanced than you might think.

The ALJ2 is a fantastic “Little Jumbo” with wonderful projection and balance. It’s made with high-grade solid Sitka top and is carefully designed to get the best out of its small body while staying clear and balanced. Many small-bodied guitars will have a “tubby” or “muddy” voicing. We’ve managed to give the voice clarity, balance and volume, making it a fun instrument to play and a great travel companion.

Carefully designed with a unique bracing pattern and arched back to give you an incredible tone and response from a small-bodied guitar, the ALJ2 is a serious little instrument. The ALJ2 is fitted with the SYS250 EQ with backlit tuner and comes with a 15mm DuoFoam Deluxe gig bag, ready for a journey.

About Artist Series

Alvarez Artist Series represents our commitment to quality and care. Our goal is to create an instant bond between you and your guitar through meticulous design in bracing, voicing and overall construction. Every component - from our bi-level bridge to our solid bridge plates and neck blocks - is carefully considered to deliver the best response possible from solid-top construction.

Artist Series guitars are responsive with impressive projection and balance that make them both rewarding and inspiring to play.

With a huge selection of body shapes and wood configurations, Artist Series has a guitar for everyone. For a more focused, woody tone, choose a Mahogany top. For a broader, more open projection, choose Sitka. For a warm response to a lighter, melodic touch, choose Cedar.
