For Laureate Series every bridge plate, brace, side brace and piece of kerfing are selected from thousands, to make sure they are the best quality possible for structure and appearance. This dedication can be seen, heard and felt and brings a rare level of detailing to the build process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand finished FS6 bracing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFS6 is based on a traditional forward shifted bracing pattern with particular attention paid to the weight and placement of the struts themselves.

The ebony components impact articulation, clarity and separation of notes and frequencies and work with other premium comments to deliver a clear and powerful voicing. This quality of ebony works beautifully with rare Blue Abalone inlays to create a very luxurious but understated vibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Laureate Bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAesthetically, Laureate is a traditional guitar series in the sense its body shapes are based on guitars from the late 1800’s to the 1930’s. With this in mind, Alvarez has stayed closer in keeping with a traditional approach, and a full, single level bridge style. The Laureate bridge has its own unique styling and is cut from the finest black ebony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Wood: AAA Solid North American Sitka\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack and Sides Wood: Solid East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Color: Daybreak\/Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Color: Natural\/Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock Facia: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: 000-12\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: African Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase or Bag: AFC30\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: FS6\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Premium Abalone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock Plate: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut and Saddle: Bone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuner: Premium Open Gear\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Ivoroid\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D’Addario XSAPB1253\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Meets Body: 12th Fret\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup \/ EQ: LR Baggs HiFi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length (mm): 1012\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Width (mm): 380\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Depth at Heel (mm): 100\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Depth at Base (mm): 120\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale (mm): 648\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale (inches): 25 1\/2\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 20\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width (mm): 44.45\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width (inches): 1 3\/4\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: Guitar comes with gig bag \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54757959139401,"sku":"LT70E DAYBREAK","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/5687\/4825\/files\/LT70e-Daybreak_Front.png?v=1760665068","url":"https:\/\/www.luthermusic.com\/products\/alvarez-laureate-lt70e-daybreak-acoustic-guitar-with-pickup","provider":"Luther Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
