The AC70Hce is a versatile classical guitar constructed in the traditional sense with fan-style bracing for clarity and balance across all six strings. It’s a hybrid—a modern instrument bridging the gap between steel string and nylon string guitars.
Alvarez AC70Hce Armrest Classical Acoustic Electric Guitar Features
A hybrid instrument bridging the gap between steel string and nylon string guitars
Joined at the 14th fret for accessibility to the higher frets
Narrower nut with a radiused fretboard will be more familiar to steel string players
Solid Sitka Spruce top
Rosewood back and sides
Mahogany neck with East Indian Rosewood fretboard
Slim bevel armrest for a more comfortable playing experience
LR Baggs StagePro Bronze electronics
LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup
Side-mounted EQ with a large backlit tuner, volume, bass and treble controls and phase
The 70Hce is joined at the 14th fret, unlike a traditional classical guitar which is joined at the 12th, making this feel more familiar to steel-string players. It features a narrower nut width than standard classical guitars and has a radiused fingerguard, rather than flat.
All carefully considered details culminate in less of a departure from steel string familiarity for those players looking for a nylon string sound.
The contrast between Sitka and Rosewood creates a classic, sophisticated aesthetic with excellent tonal qualities. Where Alvarez’s Cedar top classical guitars offer a slightly warmer voicing suited to the lighter touch, Sitka delivers a robust, more precise cut that can respond to a heavier attack for volume where needed.
The AC70Hce features a slim bevel armrest for a more comfortable playing experience while adding a stylish custom vibe to this model.
The AC70Hce is fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze. The StagePro Bronze is a small-footprint side-mounted EQ incorporating the renowned LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup. This is a low-profile unit with a large backlit tuner, volume, bass and treble controls and phase. The battery box is built into the end pin jack compartment for easy access with a simple push to open and change batteries.

Beautifully crafted instrument
I wanted a nylon string that had a quality tone but wouldn’t break the bank. First class craftsmanship packed with some excellent features like the arm rest & the LRBaggs pick up system. Brilliant guitar!

Beautiful and sounds great!

What's up with this????
I've probably worked for a couple+ of Alvarez dealers over the last 40 years, and I have never been more disappointed upon opening a guitar box.Nut out of line, frets un-level, neck set crooked(?), strings tarnished (shall I go on?) Just a total piece of garbage. Oh, and sounded like it was made of ...
