The Alvarez AF30 is a cleverly designed, well-balanced guitar made of high quality woods. The Sitka Spruce body and Mahogany neck, back and sides combination produces a rich, punchy and warm tone. Alvarez have also been conscious of the gloss finish. They’ve used a 50/50 gloss and satin finish on the neck, so you get the best of both worlds. And over the body, they’ve kept it as thin as possible to keep the sound lively whilst offering protection from wear.
