Alvarez Artist ALJ2E Little Jumbo Acoustic Electric Guitar

<p>Whether you&rsquo;re ready to travel, hit the beach or laze around the house, small body acoustic guitars can be the perfect companion, which is one reason demand never seems to slow. With a few tweaks and careful design, small body guitars can sound fantastic and much louder and balanced than you might think.</p> <p>The ALJ2 is a fantastic &ldquo;Little Jumbo&rdquo; with wonderful projection and balance. It&rsquo;s made with high-grade solid Sitka top and is carefully designed to get the best out of its small body while staying clear and balanced. Many small-bodied guitars will have a &ldquo;tubby&rdquo; or &ldquo;muddy&rdquo; voicing. We&rsquo;ve managed to give the voice clarity, balance and volume, making it a fun instrument to play and a great travel companion.</p> <p>Carefully designed with a unique bracing pattern and arched back to give you an incredible tone and response from a small-bodied guitar, the ALJ2 is a serious little instrument. The ALJ2 is fitted with the SYS250 EQ with backlit tuner and comes with a 15mm DuoFoam Deluxe gig bag, ready for a journey.</p> <h3 class="sizep18">About Artist Series</h3> <p>Alvarez Artist Series represents our commitment to quality and care.
