Discover the perfect blend of tradition and innovation with the Alvarez Cadiz Series CF6CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Designed for musicians who crave the rich, authentic tones of classical guitars but with a modern twist, this instrument is a testament to Alvarez's commitment to quality and playability. With its unique, slightly taller and narrower shape, the CF6CE stands out from conventional classical guitars, offering an elegant aesthetic and enhanced resonance.

Alvarez has intricately crafted the CF6CE’s soundbox with a lighter build and innovative bracing design, inspired by the asymmetric architecture of Jose Ramirez III. This design incorporates a treble bar to provide bell-like trebles while maintaining a strong and clear bass response. The Spanish heel neck joint and a three-piece neck, with a solid ebony center rod, ensure strength and playability without the need for a truss rod.

The CF6CE boasts a longer scale length of 660 mm (26”), channeling more energy into the soundbox and delivering a powerful sonic presence. Paired with an L.R. Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pickup, this guitar is ready to captivate audiences in any setting, from intimate performances to grand stages. Traditional cypress wood back and sides, ebony binding, and a beautiful AA Sitka spruce top complete this masterpiece, making it as stunning to behold as it is to hear.
