Open Acoustic and Full of Tone!

Alvarez knows how to do value-packed acoustics right — just take a look at their handsome Masterworks 60 Dreadnought! This mahogany and spruce acoustic-electric is projective and tonally well rounded, in addition to being equipped with a plethora of features that will please even the pickiest pickers. Some of these include a single-marked 12th-fret inlay, beautiful Herringbone binding and ABS rosette design combo, and a real bone saddle/nut to paint a lovely picture that will look and feel right at home onstage or in any musical abode. The soft “V” to “C” shape of the body-matching mahogany neck keeps your chording hand extra comfy, whether you’re thumb picking or playing fingerstyle. Need to amplify? Take advantage of the crystal-clear tones of the onboard LR Baggs HiFi preamp and pickup!

Timelessly traditional tonewoods

Spruce and mahogany: it’s a tonewood combo that has been long trusted by guitarists of many genres for decades. And that’s no coincidence! The beautiful dark mahogany back and sides of this Alvarez Masterworks 60 Dreadnought contain a rich and woody resonant quality that’s incredibly projective, tonally versatile, and as emblematic of the trade as the steel strings themselves. Topped with solid AAA Sitka spruce and paired with a forward-shifted FS6 spruce bracing pattern, this other half of Alvarez’s wood equation accommodates all dynamics vividly and with an exceptionally present boost in low end tone that’s perfectly playable!

Adorned to adore

Sounding great is one thing, but when your acoustic looks the part as well, you know you’ve found the one! A single abalone and mother-of-pearl inlay rests at the 12th fret of its Indian rosewood fingerboard for some unique character, while a real bone nut and saddle atop a the matching Indian rosewood bridge combine for low-buzz playability with a truly natural response. Rounding out this guitar's effortless style is a set of chrome Alvarez open style tuners flanking a satin headstock, adding a bit of old-school flair to the Masterworks 60 Dreadnought.

LR Baggs’ HiFi amplification

The LR Baggs HiFi system is everything players want in an acoustic-electric pickup: balanced sound, non-invasive design, and an impressive resistance to feedback. The system is beyond reliable and offers 700+ hours of use on just a single 9V battery. Consisting of a HiFi preamp, two bridge plate sensors, a discrete endpin jack, and volume and tone controls, the HiFi’s magic lies in how the system preserves acoustic integrity. Just look at the bridge plate sensors, which use materials and placement that listen to acoustic movement and tonewoods without dampening natural resonance. These sensors are guests of the sound chamber, not intruders, and what you hear is your guitar’s inherent sound and nothing more.

Alvarez: catered to creatives

Alvarez designs its guitars to meet the creative needs of players everywhere, being sported onstage by the likes of guitar legends Bob Weir and Richard Fortus. An honest approach of affordably priced and quality-crafted instrument making has resulted in a stunning variety of series and setups that will scratch the itch of even the most particular guitarists, from 12-strings to travel size, ukuleles to concert flamenco! Whatever your playing needs, there’s a long-term Alvarez companion out there ready to match your vibe. Guitars that are designed for a lifetime of enjoyment — that’s Alvarez!
