A 12-String Alvarez at the Heart of the Artist Series
This Alvarez Artist 60 Series belongs to a lineage crafted to offer fine luthiery and a true sonic personality while remaining musician-oriented. Its dreadnought shape emphasizes power and breadth, while the glossy Shadowburst finish asserts a strong stage presence. The FST2 bracing contributes to a quick response and better stability, ideal for getting the most out of a 12-string.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Thanks to its playability and electronics, this 12-string is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists (and motivated beginners) seeking an inspiring instrument both acoustically and plugged in. It excels in folk, pop, acoustic rock, voice-guitar accompaniment, and any chord-based playing where a natural, dense, and bright "chorused" feel is desired.
The Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers clarity, attack, and a wide dynamic range, helping maintain excellent note definition despite the typical shimmer of 12 strings. The mahogany combination (back/sides/neck) enhances warmth, mids, and coherence for a full-bodied sound without harshness. The dreadnought shape favors projection and bass, while the FST2 bracing contributes to quick response and good note sustain. When plugged in, the LR Baggs Element (under-saddle pickup) and StagePro EQ preserve the acoustic character with precise output for live performance and direct recording.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
For maintenance and reliability, choose a 12-string acoustic guitar string set (gauges selected according to your comfort), as well as a tuner and picks suited to your playing style. These accessories are universally compatible with a 12-string electro-acoustic guitar.
