The Masterworks Series: A Luthiery Approach Focused on Performance
The MF60ce Shadowburst is part of the Masterworks series, designed around parameters that truly make a difference in a high-end acoustic: top thickness, mass, bracing profile, back design, and wood selection. The goal is clear: to deliver a powerful, defined, and responsive guitar with a tonal quality that remains clear even when played aggressively.
Who Is the MF60ce Ideal For, and Which Styles Does It Excel In?
With its Folk/OM format, this electro-acoustic guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a versatile, comfortable, and precise instrument. It is particularly suited for fingerstyle, pop, folk, and chord playing where balance between bass, mids, and treble is essential. On stage or in the studio, the LR Baggs HiFi system provides natural and dynamic amplification, ideal for preserving the acoustic character of the playing.
Sound
The AAA Sitka spruce solid top delivers clarity, fast attack, and an excellent dynamic range: it responds equally well to picking nuances and energetic strumming. The mahogany back and sides enhance clarity and warmth in the midrange, with tight lows and controlled highs. The FS6 bracing promotes a more "alive" top, increasing projection and the sensation of instant response. The bone nuts contribute to note precision and a more singing sustain, while the rosewood bridge and ebony bridge pins help ensure efficient energy transfer.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original feel, consider a replacement set of D'Addario XSAPB1253 strings (12-53 gauge) or any acoustic Phosphor Bronze 12-53 set. A good quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable is recommended to fully exploit the LR Baggs HiFi electronics. Finally, an acoustic guitar humidifier is a relevant addition to preserve the woods, especially during winter or in heated rooms.
