ALVAREZ Artist Series AD60 is an acoustic Dreadnought guitar featuring Sitka Spruce top, african Mahogany back/sides, Mahogany neck and Laurel* fretboard.Artist Series feel right and are exciting to play. Whether you are strumming hard or picking lightly, the guitar will do what you ask of it. For a more focused sound with fewer overtones, choose a mahogany top. For a more open projection, go for Sitka. For warmth and response to a lighter touch, choose a Cedar top. Tops are selected by Alvarez team and graded independently of suppliers. While top quality improves as you move up the Artist Series models, all are stiff and finely grained. Alvarez bracing designs allow the soundbox to sing and brings uniformity across Dreadnought, Grand Auditorium, OM and Parlor body sizes. This means the voicing has a similar character, but the individual tone is more purely influenced by the size and shape of the guitar. Alvrez bi-level bridge is designed to heighten string tension and improve sustain and response. Real bone nut and saddle, premium tonewoods, and crafted attenuated finish all further the quality of construction and positively impact the performance of the instrument. Artist Series gloss models have a clear deep shine from a finish that is applied as thinly as possible to optimize tone. The personality and voicing of Artist Series is open, dynamic and instantly responsive.Alvarez guitars are truly amazing value and offer a fantastic player experience.* Techwood is an environmentally friendly / composite material mainly made from Poplar and subjected to a special treatment.
