Alvarez Artist ukuleles are lively and sophisticated instruments that deliver an exceptional player experience.Alvarez ukuleles have been carefully designed to bring players an open-sounding and responsive instrument with good projection, rich volume and fine tone.All Alvarez ukuleles are constructed with a dovetail neck joint for optimal strength and transfer of energy between the neck and body. The bracing design is a modification on traditional fan-style braces to optimize response. This response is also aided by a solid “slotted” rosewood bridge, which enhances projection and helps to make string changes easier and quicker.Other appointments and features include quality-seasoned tonewoods, real bone nut and saddles, neck, rosewood fingerboard and premium tuners.- Top Wood: Solid A+ Sitka Spruce- Body Finish: Natural/Semi-Gloss- Back and Sides Wood: Black Walnut- Shape: Tenor- Neck: - Bridge: Engineered Rosewood- Fingerboard: Engineered Rosewood- Nut and Saddle: Real Bone- Tuner: Open Gear Strip- Binding: Ivory ABS, Herringbone- Strings: Aquila Nylgut- Bracing Systems: Single Cross Brace- Neck Joint: Dovetail- Neck Meets Body: 14th Fret- Number of Frets: 18DIMENSIONS- Overall Length (mm): 672- Body Width (mm): 232- Body Depth at Heel (mm): 66- Body Depth at Base (mm): 78- Scale (mm): 430- Scale (inches): 16 15/16- Number of Frets:18- Nut Width (mm): 35- Nut Width (inches): 1 3/8
