Description
The MD66ce is beautiful and powerful yet understated, with clean lines and minimal decoration. This design language allows the solid African mahogany top to take center stage, shimmering under a flawless gloss finish. Sonically, this guitar is everything you would expect from an all-solid Dreadnought mahogany body. It has been designed to deliver a strong and articulate voicing, instant response and more open projection than is normally associated with hardwood tops. Bass frequencies are clear and robust, and the mahogany delivers strong, woody tones with lots of middle frequency and energy. This cutaway model allows for easy access up the neck and is fitted with the LR Baggs HiFi system.
Alvarez Masterworks Series Series
Alvarez Masterworks series instruments feature all-solid tonewood construction, with additional considerations for top thickness, brace weight, tapering, and back design—all of which add up to the sum total of the instrument’s voice. Featuring forward-shifted, scalloped X bracing, allowing for a slightly larger soundboard area around the bridge to help generate more vibration, Masterworks series instruments are paired with premium components, culminating in powerful voicing, inspiring articulation, and instant response. Alvarez Masterworks acoustic-electric models are outfitted with LR Baggs’ HiFi system, featuring a premium, non-invasive design that pairs dual bridge plate sensors with high-fidelity electronics to provide exceptional balance, definition, and dynamics.
