The Alvarez LD70e is a premium, traditional-style dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar from Alvarez’s highly praised Laureate Series. Positioned as a high-end spec instrument at a mid-range price point, it is engineered to deliver exceptional note articulation, resonance, and projection.
Core Specifications & Tonewoods
Body Shape: Traditional full-sized Dreadnought.
Top Wood: Solid AAAA North American Sitka Spruce. This high-grade spruce top maximizes dynamic range and provides crystalline, sweet highs.
Back & Sides Wood: Solid East Indian Rosewood. Rosewood complements the spruce top by throwing in focused low-end warmth, excellent punch, and deep harmonic sustain.
Bracing System: FS6 Forward Shifted bracing pattern. Hand-sanded and cut from quartersawn Sitka spruce, this customized bracing layout lets the top vibrate more freely for elevated volume and fast response.
Neck Profile: African Mahogany neck carved with a comfortable Soft V to C profile, transitioning into a 1.75-inch (44.45 mm) nut width.
Fingerboard & Bridge: Made from premium African Ebony, which adds precise note separation, crispness, and clarity to your picking. Unlike standard modern Alvarez models, the Laureate series skips the trademark Bi-Level bridge in favor of a traditional single-level bridge style.
Visuals & Aesthetics
The Laureate series is deeply influenced by the aesthetics of acoustic guitars from the late 1800s to the 1930s. Depending on the exact finish styling chosen, the LD70e features:
Premium Blue Abalone fingerboard and headstock inlays.
Ivory celluloid body binding.
Onboard Electronics
For live performances, the guitar is equipped with a premium, factory-installed LR Baggs HiFi pickup system. This modern design uses discreet bridge plate sensors that capture the guitar's authentic acoustic movement and wood properties directly without dampening the natural vibrations of the soundboard. The volume and tone controls are mounted complete
