The Masterworks Series: The "Everything is in the Details" Approach

Designed to maximize body vibration, the Masterworks series focuses on parameters that make a difference: top thickness, bracing profile and mass, back design, and wood selection. On the MF60e Herringbone, the FS6 bracing aims for efficient energy transfer to achieve pronounced articulation, power, and instant response. The level of finish reflects the range, with premium components and refined aesthetic details, including the Herringbone style and mother-of-pearl inlays.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

With its Folk/OM format and shorter scale length, this guitar is suitable for both intermediate players and advanced musicians seeking an expressive and comfortable acoustic. It excels in fingerstyle, folk, pop, vocal accompaniment, and is very well suited for recording thanks to its frequency balance. When plugged in, the LR Baggs electronics provide a serious solution for the stage while maintaining a credible and nuanced acoustic character.

Tone

The AAA solid Sitka spruce top delivers precise attack, good projection, and a wide dynamic range, with clear highs and excellent note clarity. The mahogany back and sides contribute warm mids, direct response, and clean lows, which particularly highlight fingerpicking and articulated rhythms. The FS6 bracing enhances top vibration and the sensation of responsiveness under the right hand, while the bone nuts contribute to transmission, sustain, and definition. Amplified, the LR Baggs HiFi (under-saddle pickups and high-fidelity electronics) aims for a natural sound with good balance and faithful dynamics, useful for transitioning from subtle picking to stronger attacks without losing detail.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, plan for a replacement set of D'Addario XSAPB1253 strings (same reference as factory setup). The guitar comes with an AFC30 case for transport and protection.
