Masterworks: The "All-solid" Approach Serving Definition

The Masterworks series emphasizes the parameters that truly shape a guitar's voice: soundboard thickness, back design, wood selection, and bracing work. On the MP60e, the combination of an AAA top and FS6 bracing aims for instant response, great note-to-note clarity, and surprising power for a Parlor format. The result is an expressive instrument, sensitive to touch, designed to maintain precision even when played with more energy.

For Whom and Which Styles?

With its Parlor format and shorter scale length, the Masterworks MP60e Shadowburst is suited for both intermediate guitarists and advanced musicians seeking a compact, responsive, and inspiring acoustic. It excels in fingerstyle, blues, folk, picking, vocal accompaniment, and studio playing, where definition and balance matter as much as volume. On stage, its electro-acoustic system preserves playing nuances without weighing down the instrument.

Sound

The AAA solid Sitka spruce top delivers a clear attack, wide dynamic range, and beautiful projection, especially appreciated on a Parlor where every vibration counts. The solid mahogany back and sides complete the picture with rich mids, controlled bass, and a warmth that highlights fingerstyle playing. The FS6 bracing promotes a more "lively" top: the guitar responds quickly, with precise articulation and natural sustain. Plugged in, the LR Baggs HiFi electronics (two vibration sensors placed under the bridge) aim for a faithful sound: balanced, defined, and dynamic, without the impression of artificially compressed tone.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, you can consider a replacement set of D'Addario XSAPB1253 strings (12-53 gauge), identical to the factory-installed set. The instrument is delivered with the AFC30 case, suitable for transport and storage.
