The Masterworks Series: The "All Solid Wood" Performance-Oriented Approach

The Masterworks series emphasizes what makes a difference in an all-solid wood guitar: top thickness, weight, bracing profile, back design, and wood selection. On the MD66ce Custom, the goal is clear: instant response, strong definition, and natural power, enhanced by the FS6 bracing and a AAA-grade soundboard.

Who is the MD66ce Custom for and what styles suit it?

With its dreadnought format and all-solid construction, this electro-acoustic guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive instrument capable of handling both pick playing and strong fingerpicking. Its direct character and projection make it very comfortable in pop, folk, acoustic rock, vocal accompaniment, and any situation where solid rhythm and clear attack are desired, including on stage thanks to the LR Baggs system.

Sound Characteristics

The choice of an all-solid mahogany set (top, back, and sides) delivers a centered tonal signature with a clear attack, present mids, and excellent mix clarity. The FS6 bracing promotes top vibration, resulting in immediate response, convincing projection, and clean articulation, useful both for strumming and more nuanced playing. Plugged in, the LR Baggs HiFi electronics (dual under-saddle pickups) aim for a natural reproduction: balanced, defined, and dynamic, while remaining discreet on the instrument.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, a replacement set of D'Addario XSAPB1253 strings (12-53 gauge) is a safe and directly compatible choice.
