*Dread-Not Certified Used* Alvarez Laureate Series LDR70e Sitka/Rosewood Herringbone Sunset Slope Shoulder Dreadnought Guitar w/LR Baggs Hifi Pickup #1248

Blending classic, vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern boutique innovation, this Alvarez Laureate Series LDR70e is a stunning slope-shoulder dreadnought designed for premium performance. In Excellent Condition, this guitar has some light scratches on the treble side and top lower right bout. Handcrafted with an exceptional eye for detail, this instrument features a traditional 12th-fret neck joint layout that shifts the bridge closer to the sweet spot of the lower bout. This specialized construction enhances overall warmth, mid-range punch, and natural sustain, making it an absolute standout for serious performing musicians and studio tracking sessions alike.

The acoustic foundation relies on a premium, solid AAA North American Sitka spruce top finished in a striking Sunset gloss, paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides for deep, resonant lows and sparkling high-end clarity. Inside the body, Alvarez's advanced FS6 bracing system ensures exceptional tonal balance and wide-open projection across the entire register. To maximize string-to-string separation and dynamic energy transfer, the instrument is anchored by a high-grade bone nut and saddle configuration alongside a premium ebony bridge.

The comfortable African mahogany neck offers effortless playability, topped with a bound ebony fingerboard dressed in elegant abalone inlays and a matching ebony headstock facia. For transparent, plug-and-play stage amplification, the guitar comes factory-equipped with an LR Baggs HiFi pickup system that captures the true acoustic voice and nuance of your playing style. Complete with high-quality open-gear tuners and elegant ivoroid binding, this slope-shoulder masterpiece stands fully inspected, dialed in, and ready to perform.
