Alvarez Artist Series AF30CE OM Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Natural Semi-Gloss
A solid-top OM acoustic-electric with a comfortable cutaway body, lively voicing, and an onboard EQ with backlit tuner — an easy-playing guitar that plugs in without fuss.
Is This the Right Guitar for You?
The AF30CE is a smart pick for the player who wants a solid-top guitar that sounds bigger than its body suggests. The OM shape is compact and comfortable to hold for long sessions, which makes it a natural fit for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and anyone who finds a full dreadnought a little bulky. The cutaway opens up the upper frets for lead lines and modern chord shapes, and the onboard SYS250 EQ with a backlit tuner means you can plug into a PA or amp and stay in tune without extra gear. This is the entry point to Alvarez's award-winning Artist Series, but it earns its place with a hand-selected solid Sitka top and FST2 forward-shifted bracing that give it real projection and dynamics. If you want one guitar that feels easy in your hands and is ready for the stage, this is a rewarding choice.
Key Highlights
- Solid A-grade Sitka spruce top for clear, responsive tone with a wide dynamic range
- Comfortable OM body shape that plays easy through long sessions
- Cutaway design for comfortable upper-fret access
- SYS250 side-mounted EQ with a backlit onboard tuner for simple, dependable plug-in performance
- FST2 forward-shifted bracing for strong projection and balanced voicing
- Real bone nut and saddle for improved tone transfer and tuning stability
- Light semi-gloss finish that lets the top resonate freely
Why You'll Love It
