Alvarez AF30ce Artist Series Solid Top Cutaway Folk/OM

The Alvarez AF30ce Artist Series Folk/OM brings together the articulate balance of an Orchestra Model body with the flexibility of built-in electronics and a smooth cutaway design. It’s a superb choice for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters and performers who want clarity, comfort and reliable plugged-in tone.

Built with a solid A Sitka spruce top, the AF30ce delivers crisp articulation, lively treble response and impressive dynamic range. Paired with Sapeli back and sides, it offers warm mids and a focused low end, creating a balanced tonal profile that works beautifully for intricate fingerpicking, light strumming and melodic playing.

The OM (Folk) body shape is known for its even string-to-string response and superb note separation. It’s comfortable to hold, making it ideal for longer practice sessions and live performances alike. The added cutaway provides easy access to upper frets, opening up lead lines and higher-register voicings without compromise.

Internally, the FST2 bracing system enhances resonance while maintaining structural integrity, allowing the top to vibrate freely and respond intuitively to your touch. The result is a lively, articulate instrument that feels expressive and controlled.

The African mahogany neck, joining the body at the 14th fret, pairs with an Indian Laurel fingerboard featuring subtle decal and ABS inlays. With 21 frets, a bone nut and saddle, and a Bi-Level Indian Laurel bridge, the AF30ce offers smooth playability, solid sustain and dependable intonation. Chrome closed-gear tuners provide reliable tuning stability.

When it’s time to plug in, the SYS250 pickup and EQ system delivers clear, natural amplified tone. With onboard controls for shaping your sound, it’s well suited for rehearsals, small gigs and studio sessions.

Finished in a clean Natural semi-gloss top with open-pore back and sides, and strung with D’Addario XTAPB1253 strings, the AF30ce is ready to inspire straight out of the box.

For players across Ireland looking for a solid-top OM acoustic with stage-ready electronics, the Alvarez AF30ce is a beautifully balanced and versatile option.
