Alvarez AU70BE/6 Artist Baritone Travel Acoustic-Electric Ukulele (Natural Satin)

Alvarez Artist ukuleles are lively and sophisticated instruments that deliver an exceptional player experience.

Alvarez ukuleles have been carefully designed to bring players an open-sounding and responsive instrument with good projection, rich volume and fine tone.

All Alvarez ukuleles are constructed with a dovetail neck joint for optimal strength and transfer of energy between the neck and body. The bracing design is a modification on traditional fan-style braces to optimize response. This response is also aided by a solid “slotted” rosewood bridge, which enhances projection and helps to make string changes easier and quicker. The AU70WBE is fitted with our AUE 20 EQ with built in tuner.

Other appointments and features include quality-seasoned tonewoods, real bone nut and saddles, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and premium tuners.
