A traditionally built nylon-string classical guitar with warm, balanced tone.
The Alvarez AC65 nylon-string classical acoustic guitar delivers a warm, balanced tone ideal for fingerstyle playing. Constructed with a solid Western red cedar top and mahogany back and sides, the AC65 projects with clarity across all six strings. Its comfortable nato neck and rosewood fingerboard give you a smooth playing experience whether you're a beginner or seasoned guitarist.
Fan Bracing Provides an Open, Articulate Voice
The AC65 features traditional fan bracing that allows its solid cedar top to resonate freely. This design accentuates the guitar's warm, mellow tone with clear note definition and an open voice suited for nuanced playing styles. You'll appreciate how the bracing enhances the musical qualities of nylon strings.
Premium Tonewoods Produce Rich Timbre
All-solid wood construction with a cedar top and mahogany back and sides gives the AC65 a balanced timbre that rings out with complex overtones. Cedar's soft, lightweight nature provides warmth and sensitivity, while mahogany adds depth and roundness. Together these tonewoods generate a rich, expressive sound with piano-like bass, crisp treble and a broad midrange.
Comfortable Playability Enhances Fingerstyle Technique
With its nylon strings and slim, easy-playing neck, the AC65 is ideal for refined classical fingerpicking. Its nylon strings have a softer, warmer feel under the fingers compared to steel strings, facilitating intricate fingerstyle work. An unbound neck and 12" radius provide an unencumbered playing surface for natural, effortless fingering. The AC65's lightweight body and balanced shape offer comfortable playability whether you're practicing at home or performing on stage.
