A Masterworks Designed as an All-solid Luthiery "Showcase"

In the Masterworks series, every construction parameter aims to maximize vibration: top thickness, bracing profile and weight, back design, and wood selection. The intended result is clear: a guitar with a defined sound, instant response, and controlled power, featuring premium finishes and components worthy of a stage or studio instrument.

For Which Guitarists and Styles

The Masterworks MD70ce Custom is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive and reliable dreadnought, equally comfortable with energetic strumming and fingerpicking. Its format and projection are particularly suited to pop, folk, acoustic rock, country, and vocal accompaniment, with the advantage of quality amplification for concerts and rehearsals.

Sound

The AAA solid Sitka spruce top delivers a clear attack, clarity, and wide dynamics, perfect for transitioning from delicate to more forceful playing without saturating the tone. The solid Indian rosewood back and sides enhance bass depth, controlled brightness, and harmonic richness, with a generous sustain typical of all-solid instruments. The FS6 bracing promotes efficient vibration: the guitar responds quickly, projects well, and maintains fine definition even on complex chords. Plugged in, the LR Baggs HiFi electronics (under-saddle pickups and high-fidelity processing) aim for a natural, balanced, and dynamic reproduction, useful for preserving the acoustic character on stage.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and tonal balance, plan on a replacement set of D'Addario XSAPB1253 strings (same gauge and reference as factory setup). Picks (from flexible to stiff) can also help adjust attack according to your style, with no compatibility constraints.
