The Masterworks Series: The Demand for All-Solid Wood, Without Compromise
Designed to get the best out of solid wood, the Masterworks series focuses on the parameters that make a difference to the ear: top thickness, back design, choice of tonewoods, and bracing work. The MD60CE Shadowburst embodies this spirit with lutherie oriented towards power, definition, and an immediate attack, to remain precise even when played loudly.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Thanks to its dreadnought format and volume reserve, this electro-acoustic guitar is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive and stable guitar for stage, rehearsal, or studio. It is comfortable in folk, pop, acoustic rock, vocal accompaniment, but also remains clear in arpeggios when working on nuance.
Sound Characteristics
The AAA solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, a crisp attack, and wide dynamics, ideal for transitioning from light playing to energetic strumming. The mahogany back and sides complement the whole with rich mids, direct response, and well-controlled bass, for a warm and precise sound. The FS6 bracing promotes top vibration: you gain in projection, definition, and responsiveness, with a "living" guitar feel under the fingers. Plugged in, the LR Baggs HiFi electronics combine two under-saddle pickups and high-fidelity design to deliver a balanced, detailed, and dynamic signal without altering the acoustic character.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original feel and balance, favor a set of 12-53 acoustic steel strings (same gauge as the supplied D'Addario XSAPB1253). The AFC30 case is included, providing you with a suitable transport solution.
