About the Alvarez Laureate Series

Better sound, enhanced playability, gorgeous aesthetics; Alvarez’s Laureate Series is a convergence of traditional-style acoustic design, supreme build quality, and premium tonewoods, delivering a truly exquisite acoustic guitar experience. For every Laureate guitar, the Alvarez designers hand-select bridge plates, bracing, kerfing, and tops for optimal resonance, structure, and appearance. In a break from much of Alvarez’s range, they’ve opted for a single-level Black Ebony bridge and hand-sanded bracing, for refined resonance and harmonic detail – and adding to that traditional look. This commitment to quality is evident even at first glance, but when you pick a Laureate guitar up, the sound speaks for itself.
