The Alvarez MD70e Herringbone dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar offers the best of both worlds for the performing guitarist. Its solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides and dreadnought body provide the full, balanced tone and projection that has made the dreadnought design legendary. At the same time, the L.R. Baggs HiFi pickup system gives you an acoustic tone when plugged in, allowing you to take the MD70e's voice onstage or in the studio.

Solid Spruce Top Produces a Rich, Nuanced Acoustic Tone

The MD70e gets its acoustic voice from a solid spruce top, a tonewood prized for producing a balanced, nuanced tone with good projection. When combined with rosewood back and sides, the result is a dreadnought sound with warm, rich mids, crisp treble and full low end.

L.R. Baggs HiFi Electronics Plug You In

The MD70E's dreadnought body is designed with the flatpicker and powerful strummer in mind. It’s also equipped with an LR Baggs HiFi pickup system, a non-invasive pickup design that pairs dual bridge plate sensors with high-fidelity electronics, providing exceptional balance, definition, dynamics, and good feedback resistance. With a simplified peel-and-stick installation, the lightweight pickups preserve the integrity of your instrument’s bridge plate without negatively altering your acoustic tone. HiFi’s built-in, studio-quality preamp is also voiced to complement the pickups for an optimal plug-and-play experience.

Built to Perform Night After Night

Like all Alvarez guitars, the MD70e is built using durable, high-quality materials and construction techniques to withstand the demands of frequent performing and touring. With its solid spruce and rosewood tonewoods, stylish looks, and LR Baggs electronics, the Alvarez MD70e Herringbone dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar is an inspiring and dependable instrument for guitarists who want to plug in and play out.
