Alvarez Mini Blues Travel/Student

Product detailed description

Solid top acoustic travel guitar with Little Jumbo body shape from multi-award winning Artist series that provides great projection and balance. It is carefully designed with arched back and unique bracing pattern to get the best from its small body while staying clear with enough volume to make it a really fun instrument to play. It features premium components such as the FST2 bracing system, bi-level rosewood bridge, real bone nut and saddle, great quality tone woods including solid A+ Sitka spruce top and mahogany back, sides and neck, and thin finish - 50/50 semi-gloss on the neck and satin on the top. The FST2 is a forward shifted X brace design, which means the axis of the X is closer to the sound hole and therefore creates a larger soundboard area allowing for more energy and vibration to be harnessed. Both the X braces and asymmetric tone bars are carefully scalloped. The FST2 also creates very good balance so both the treble and bass registers are clearly present and balanced in relation to each other. Along with a more angled headstock with rosewood plate and chrome die-cast tuners, the bi-level bridge increases string tension by making the break angle of the strings from the saddle to the top more acute. Improved string tension adds to the sound, feel and response, which are also heightened by the use of real bone nuts and saddles. Other premium features include a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard, ivory ABS binding, dovetail neck joint (joined at 14th fret) and D'Addario EXP strings. Scale length is 600 mm, nut width is 44.45 mm. The guitar comes supplied with a 15mm DuoFoam Deluxe gig bag. Natural colour design.
