A Masterworks Designed for Performance, from Wood to FS6 Bracing
The Masterworks series focuses on the parameters that truly make a difference on an all-solid acoustic guitar: wood thickness and selection, back design, and especially bracing architecture. On the MD60e Herringbone, the FS6 bracing aims for generous top vibration to achieve a clear attack, excellent note-by-note clarity, and a quick response, both with a pick and fingerstyle. The attention given to components (bone nuts, premium details) follows this logic: an elegant dreadnought designed to sound loud, clear, and lasting.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Thanks to its Dreadnought format and projection, the Masterworks MD60e Herringbone is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive instrument capable of carrying energetic rhythm playing as well as precise picking. It excels in folk, bluegrass, pop, and vocal accompaniment, and is also well suited for stage musicians thanks to its LR Baggs electronics, designed to preserve the natural acoustic character when plugged in.
Sound
The AAA solid Sitka spruce top provides a wide dynamic range: the attack is crisp, the highs remain open, and the guitar maintains beautiful clarity when played loudly. The mahogany back and sides enhance midrange focus with a warm and direct tone, very effective in a mix. The FS6 bracing contributes to the sensation of instant response and precise articulation, while the bone nuts promote vibration transmission, sustain, and perceived tuning accuracy. When plugged in, the LR Baggs HiFi electronics aim for a faithful and balanced output, with excellent definition and natural dynamics, without excessive coloration.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original feel and balance, a set of D'Addario XSAPB1253 strings (the same reference as factory-installed) is a safe choice for replacement. The instrument is delivered with the AFC30 case, ideal for daily transport and protection.
