Alvarez Artist Elite Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar - Shadowburst

The Alvarez AEG99ce Artist Elite is a beautifully refined Grand Auditorium acoustic‑electric designed for players who seek premium tonewoods, elegant appointments, and exceptional playability in a modern performance instrument. Featuring a solid AA Western Red Cedar top paired with a figured acacia body, the AEG99ce delivers a rich, expressive voice with excellent warmth, clarity, and dynamic response. The cedar top enhances sensitivity and nuance, while the acacia back and sides contribute impressive articulation and visual depth, all finished in a striking Shadowburst gloss.

At the core of its sound is Alvarez’s FS6 forward‑shifted bracing system, which increases the active soundboard area to heighten vibration and projection. This design, combined with premium components and Alvarez’s meticulous construction standards, produces a lively, responsive instrument that feels immediately inspiring. A standout comfort feature is the slim flamed maple armrest bevel, which reduces forearm fatigue and enhances long playing sessions without sacrificing tone.

The cutaway Grand Auditorium body allows effortless access to upper frets, and the guitar comes stage‑ready with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze electronics system. This compact, side‑mounted EQ houses the acclaimed LR Baggs Element undersaddle pickup and includes a large backlit tuner, volume, bass, treble, and phase controls for precise sound shaping onstage or in the studio. Thoughtful design details—such as the end‑pin‑mounted battery compartment with quick‑access release—ensure maximum convenience for gigging musicians.

As part of the Artist Elite Series, the AEG99ce reflects Alvarez’s commitment to carefully selected tonewoods, advanced curing processes, and sophisticated aesthetics. Crafted with clarity, resonance, and longevity in mind, this guitar offers a refined, professional sound and feel from the very first note.
