Masterworks Series: All-solid Woodcraft Designed for Power
Part of the Masterworks series, the MG66ce focuses on optimizing every element of the instrument: top thickness, back design, bracing profile, and wood selection. The goal is clear: to achieve a guitar with a powerful, defined sound and instant response. The FS6 bracing promotes top vibration, while the premium hardware (bone nuts, ebony fingerboard, premium open tuners) ensures daily stability and precision.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
The MG66ce is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive and reliable electro-acoustic, equally comfortable in the studio and on stage. Its Grand Auditorium format is particularly suited for styles requiring nuance and balance: pop, folk, vocal accompaniment, fingerpicking, as well as dynamic rhythm playing. Thanks to the LR Baggs HiFi preamp, it also meets the needs of musicians who regularly play amplified (concerts, rehearsals, worship, etc.).
Sound
With a solid mahogany top, back, and sides, the MG66ce favors a warm and very clear register, featuring present mids, clean lows, and a soft high end. Mahogany is known for its quick response and "direct" character, ideal for highlighting attack and dynamics in playing. The FS6 bracing adds projection and a nice "punch" feel, while maintaining clear articulation even with complex chords. When plugged in, the LR Baggs HiFi electronics, based on two vibration sensors under the bridge, aim for high-fidelity reproduction: balance, definition, and dynamics, with a natural output that respects the all-solid character of the instrument.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, you can opt for a 12-53 acoustic string set (like the factory-installed model). A strap (with attachment suitable for acoustic guitars) is ideal for stage use, and a case humidifier is recommended to protect an all-solid guitar from humidity fluctuations. Picks of various thicknesses will also allow you to explore more nuances, from light playing to energetic strumming.
