Overview

A crossover nylon string with cutaway and steel-string-style neck.

Part of their Regent Series, the Alvarez RC26HC is a hybrid classical nylon-string guitar with a steel-string-style neck that's a bit more comfortable for fretting and chord stretches. It comes ready to plug in with the Alvarez SYS250 preamp by B-Band.

The Alvarez Regent Series is designed as an entry-level guitar that will keep new players focused and excited about their instrument from day one. They're classic looking guitars that encompass many of the features and design elements that Alvarez's high-end instruments have, like its bi-level bridge, and a rosewood bridge and fingerboard. The models are finished in a high gloss and come in either Sitka or rosewood outfits.

Usually laminated guitars sound very thin and have difficulty projecting, but the Alvarez Regent Series has had a lot of attention paid to good construction and components, and are very open and sweet sounding while maintaining a very affordable price.
