{"product_id":"alvarez-md70ce-custom","title":"Alvarez MD70CE Custom Masterworks Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Shadowburst)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Custom Masterworks models offer elegance and tonality, with features and premium tonewoods and components throughout. The slim front-bevel armrest reduces negative impact to top performance while offering comfort, especially when playing longer sessions. The ergonomics continue with a second bevel on the back side of the guitar. This “chest-rest” is a slim bevel at the back waist and lower bout which often leans into your body when playing. Removing this edge allows you to lean the guitar into the body without the binding creating any discomfort. The look and feel add comfort and a striking aesthetic to this custom model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe feature list on Custom models continues with premium abalone purfling, a flawless Shadowburst finish and cutaway. Like all Masterworks, Masterworks Custom is fitted with the LR Baggs HiFi system. HiFi is a new powered-sensor pickup system that delivers an exceptional reproduction of the guitar’s tonality and acoustic personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis MD70ce Custom is made with a AAA North American top and hand-selected East Indian Rosewood back and sides. It is a powerful instrument with impressive bass response and excellent overall volume which is enhanced by its shimmering trebles. This is a very articulate Dreadnought with lots of tonal color and breadth, and beautifully dressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Alvarez Masterworks Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking a guitar from all-solid wood delivers strong tonal benefits, and we approach the design of Masterworks to embrace all of them. Top thickness, brace weight and tapering, back design and wood choice all count, and when each is considered as a part of the sum total of the instrument’s voice, great articulation and quality of tone is achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur FS6 bracing system is a forward-shifted, scalloped X allowing for a slightly larger soundboard area around the bridge. This helps generate more vibration, which is heightened by AAA soundboards and premium components throughout, culminating in powerful voicing, inspiring articulation and instant response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMasterworks acoustic-electric models are fitted with the LR Baggs HiFi system. HiFi is a premium, non-invasive design that pairs dual bridge plate sensors with high-fidelity electronics, providing exceptional balance, definition and dynamics. Due to the closed sensor design, HiFi also has excellent feedback resistance and its built-in, studio-quality preamp is voiced to compliment the pickups for an optimal plug-and-play experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Masterworks ship with our durable AFC30 Flexicase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid AAA Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack and Sides Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid East Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural\/Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural\/Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slim Ebony Bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Facia:\u003c\/strong\u003e East Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pins:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dreadnought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e African Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase or Bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e AFC30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e FS6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bi-Level Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium MOP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e East Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut and Saddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Open Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e D’Addario XSAPB1253\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Meets Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14th Fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickup \/ EQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e LR Baggs HiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1042\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Width (mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 395\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Depth at Heel (mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Depth at Base (mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale (mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 648\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale (inches):\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 1\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width (mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 44.45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width (inches):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 3\/4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49010311528697,"sku":"MD70CE-CUSTOM","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/MD70ce-Custom_Left_3-4.png?v=1788566589","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/alvarez-md70ce-custom","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
