GBU Review:
The Artist Elite Grand Auditorium is just that- and one of the finest guitars in the Alvarez repertoire. First notice the slim, beveled armrest for comfort and cool wood highlighting, then stare into the depth of the wood grains. This guitar is built from 3 year-seasoned Acacia Confusa which gives the instrument an incredible tone and the look of a sculpted work of art. Knowing that it feels aged and organic but the bracing and technical build give it bright projection and superb response. For gigs, this guitar comes alive with an L.R. Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pickup.
