An Artist Series Designed for a Direct Connection Between Musician and Instrument
With the Artist series, Alvarez emphasizes what makes a difference daily: precise bracing design, attentive voicing, and manufacturing focused on responsiveness. The AF60CE fully embodies this philosophy by combining a solid top construction and classic, effective wood choices to serve an inspiring instrument, ready for both the living room and the stage. Its Shadowburst finish adds an elegant touch, blending vintage character with modernity.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Thanks to its Folk/OM size and wide nut, the Alvarez AF60CE is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking comfort, precision, and definition. It excels in fingerstyle, folk, acoustic pop, and delicate accompaniment, while maintaining enough responsiveness for light to medium strumming. The cutaway and LR Baggs preamp also make it a natural ally for amplified playing, whether in rehearsal or concert.
Sound
The solid A+ Sitka Spruce top provides clarity, a crisp attack, and a wide dynamic range: the more subtle your playing, the more precisely the instrument responds. The mahogany back and sides warm the tone, with present mids and clean lows, promoting a balanced and clear sound in a mix. The Folk/OM format helps maintain excellent note-to-note definition, while the FS6 bracing and dual-level bridge contribute to good projection and natural sustain. Plugged in, the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze electronics highlight the acoustic grain with a clear and musical output, designed to remain expressive on stage.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original setup and feel, prioritize a set of D'Addario XTAPB1266 strings (same reference). A tuner (clip-on or pedal) and a guitar stand are also suitable without compatibility concerns.
