Alvarez MPA70E Masterworks Parlor Acoustic-Electric - 2017 – All Solid Rosewood & Spruce w/OHSC

All-Solid Wood Construction • Original Alvarez Hardshell Case • 2017

Some guitars try to impress you with a logo.

This one does it with wood.

The Alvarez Masterworks series has earned a loyal following among players who know that great guitars aren't always the ones with the biggest marketing budgets. This 2017 MPA70E is a perfect example. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers the kind of tone, projection, and responsiveness that players usually expect to find at a much higher price point.

And then there's the appearance.

The rosewood on the back and sides is absolutely gorgeous, accented by flamed maple binding and tasteful abalone appointments. It's the kind of guitar that gets picked up before anyone even asks what it costs.

Fortunately, it has the sound to back up the looks.

The Parlor body shape strikes a wonderful balance between comfort and projection, making it equally at home with fingerstyle playing, flatpicking, songwriting, worship music, or acoustic gigs. The voice is rich and articulate, with clear highs, strong mids, and a warm low end that never gets muddy.

Plugged in, the LR Baggs Element pickup system delivers a natural acoustic tone and includes an onboard tuner, making it ready for the stage, studio, or Sunday morning.

Condition is excellent. This guitar has clearly been played, but it has also clearly been cared for. The finish shines beautifully, the neck feels great, and everything works exactly as it should.

The original Alvarez hardshell case is included and is in equally nice condition.

Some guitars get your attention because of the name on the headstock.

Others earn it by being exceptionally well-built, beautifully voiced, and downright hard to put down.

This Alvarez falls firmly into the second category.
