Alvarez – Laureate Series LD70e Daybreak — Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric with AFC30 Flexicase

The Alvarez LD70e Daybreak combines carefully selected tonewoods, hand-finished bracing, and refined appointments in an all-solid dreadnought. Its AAAA solid North American Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides deliver a rich, expansive voice with clear articulation, deep bass, and shimmering overtones.

Built with a bench-made approach, the Laureate Series features individually selected structural components and hand-sanded, quartersawn Sitka spruce braces. The forward-shifted FS6 bracing and carefully thicknessed top encourage a responsive feel, bringing depth and detail to gentle fingerpicking and full-bodied strumming alike.

A subtle Daybreak burst highlights the spruce grain beneath a thin, high-gloss finish. An ebony fingerboard, headstock plate, and traditional single-level bridge complement premium abalone inlays, creating an elegant appearance inspired by classic acoustic designs.

The LR Baggs HiFi pickup system captures the guitar’s acoustic character for amplified performance. Includes an AFC30 Flexicase.
