Embark on a melodious journey with the Alvarez Cadiz Series CC7CE, a guitar steeped in the rich musical heritage of southern Spain. Crafted with an eye for tradition and a heart for innovation, this acoustic-electric marvel pays homage to its Andalusian roots while embracing modern craftsmanship. Designed in collaboration with local luthiers from Cádiz, its construction is a testament to the artistry and history of classical guitars.

The CC7CE is not just about aesthetics; its slightly taller and narrower form introduces an elegance that’s both seen and heard. With a unique bracing system inspired by the asymmetric architecture of Jose Ramirez III, this guitar offers a distinctive sonic experience. The treble bar enhances the upper register's bell-like clarity, while the bass strings resonate with richness and depth, thanks to thoughtfully lightened braces.
