Alvarez MD66ce Masterworks Dreadnought Solid African Mahogany/Solid African Mahogany Shadowburst

With solid African Mahogany construction throughout, the MD66ce dreadnought produces a warm, woody voice with an excellent, clear bass response and warm, glistening trebles. The MD66ce is powerful and responsive, and it absolutely delivers across the lower and upper middle frequencies for a very connected feeling when playing. The FS6 bracing structure produces an excellent ratio between strength and vibration which affords the Mahogany top the movement to generate a broader frequency response than is often associated with Mahogany guitars.

Although undertested in aesthetic design, the MD66ce has a premium look and feel, with first-class materials and components, select shell inlays and a flawless, thin poly finish shine.

The MD66ce is fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze. The StagePro Bronze is a small-footprint side-mounted EQ incorporating the renowned LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup. This is a low-profile unit with a large backlit tuner, volume, bass and treble controls and phase. The battery box is built into the end pin jack compartment for easy access with a simple push to open and change batteries.
