Alvarez Ag60Cespbshb

An Artist Series Designed for Response and Balance

With the Artist series, Alvarez emphasizes the coherence of the luthiery/sound combination: carefully crafted bracing, voicing, and build quality aim for a "direct" feel under the fingers. The AG60CE fits this philosophy with a solid top construction and a versatile Grand Auditorium format, designed to remain balanced regardless of playing style.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

The Alvarez AG60CE is aimed at advanced beginners to intermediate guitarists seeking an expressive electro-acoustic, as well as experienced musicians looking for a reliable guitar to rehearse, record, and play amplified. Its Grand Auditorium size suits both pop/folk strumming and fingerstyle, and the cutaway facilitates playing high up the neck.

Sound Characteristics

The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, projection, and a fast response, ideal for highlighting note articulation and right-hand nuances. The mahogany back and sides enhance the mids and add a woody warmth that works very well in accompaniment, while maintaining precision in arpeggios. The Grand Auditorium format aims for a natural compromise between breadth and balance, with a present but not excessive low end. The FS6 bracing contributes to a responsive feel and good chord sustain, while the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze electronics ensure a consistent tone when plugged in.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel and balance, opt for a D'Addario XTAPB1271 string set (factory-installed reference).
