The MP66 Parlor offers incredible craftsmanship, tone and beauty. The solid mahogany top shimmers under our flawless Shadowburst finish, and the hand-crafted Paua abalone purfling frames the body beautifully. The MP66e 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.
