Default Anyone played or insight on the Alvarez Artist Elite?

Their website doesn't have a lot of info... I'm just curious

The Alvarez Artist Elite differs in that the back and sides are Acacia rather than Mahogany or Rosewood.
I had a pre-Elite Alvarez Artist with spruce over Acacia.
It was “brighter” than my other Alvarez guitars.
But it also had a kind of “punch” to it.
I personally don’t generally care for Koa type woods.
Acacia being a Koa cousin, I had my doubts.
That guitar, an ADA1965, was a pretty good one.
And I was uncharacteristically fond of it.
If you can find one, give it a few minutes of your time.
The only thing I find odd, is that they are priced equal to, or higher than the current all-solid Masterworks series.
And those are VERY good guitars.
