DESCRIPTION
The Alvarez RG99KCE Elite is a limited-production acoustic-electric guitar that combines stunning all-figured koa construction with premium craftsmanship and outstanding performance. Featuring a AAA figured koa top paired with AA figured koa back and sides, this Grand Auditorium delivers rich warmth, impressive projection, and striking visual appeal that only koa can provide.
Designed for exceptional tone and responsiveness, the RG99KCE Elite utilizes Alvarez's carefully engineered scalloped X-bracing system, allowing the guitar to resonate freely while maintaining excellent balance across the tonal spectrum. Every detail has been refined to maximize performance, including Alvarez's innovative one-piece bi-level bridge inspired by Yairi's direct-coupled design. This unique bridge increases string tension for enhanced sustain, improved projection, and a more dynamic playing experience.
The versatile Grand Auditorium body shape offers an ideal blend of comfort and power, sitting comfortably against the player while producing the volume and fullness of a larger-bodied guitar. Whether you're strumming chords, fingerpicking intricate passages, or performing on stage, the RG99KCE Elite delivers a balanced voice with exceptional clarity and articulation.
For live performance, the onboard SYS100 pickup and soundhole console provide simple, reliable amplification with convenient volume and tone controls, making it easy to dial in your sound for any venue. Premium chrome tuning machines with tortoiseshell buttons ensure dependable tuning stability while complementing the guitar's elegant appearance.
As a limited-production model available only through select authorized Alvarez dealers, the RG99KCE Elite offers players the opportunity to own an exclusive instrument that stands apart from the ordinary. To keep it protected wherever your music takes you, Alvarez includes a deluxe AFC30-Tan FlexiCase.
