Alvarez Masterworks MD60e Dreadnought Natural with Gig Bag
The Alvarez Masterworks MD60e Dreadnought: Built for Powerful Bluegrass Tone
Solid Wood Dreadnought Power and Clarity
The Alvarez Masterworks MD60e is a superbly voiced all solid wood dreadnought created for players who demand strong projection, quick response and articulate tone. Designed with flatpickers and hard strummers in mind, the MD60e delivers a commanding low end paired with sparkling trebles and outstanding note separation. Every chord blooms with richness while single note runs remain focused and clear. Its traditional aesthetic pays tribute to classic Bluegrass guitars with premium open gear nickel tuners, elegant herringbone appointments, premium mother of pearl inlays and a tortoiseshell style pickguard. The slightly extended fingerboard adds to the vintage inspired feel while maintaining effortless playability.
AAA Sitka Spruce and African Mahogany Tonewoods
The combination of a solid AAA Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides creates a voice that is both dynamic and balanced. The Sitka top offers exceptional headroom and responsiveness while the mahogany body contributes warmth, punch and woody midrange detail. Together they produce a dreadnought tone that is bold yet refined. Alvarez’s ATR curing process enhances the tonal maturity of the wood by increasing resonance, stability and responsiveness. The result is a guitar that feels open, lively and broken in from the very first note.
FS6 Bracing for Enhanced Resonance
Alvarez’s FS6 forward shifted scalloped X bracing system increases the active soundboard area around the bridge, helping the top move more freely for greater volume, quicker attack and improved tonal complexity. The guitar feels highly responsive under the pick with excellent articulation across the entire fretboard. Whether driving rhythm parts or intricate lead passages, the MD60e remains balanced, expressive and inspiring to play.
Premium Components and Comfortable Playability
Premium appointments throughout the MD60e elevate both feel and performance. The African mahogany neck has a comfortable profile that pairs beautifully with the East Indian rosewood fingerboard for a smooth and familiar playing experience. Bone nut and saddle construction enhances sustain and clarity while ebony bridge pins add durability and tonal focus. The premium open gear tuners provide smooth and accurate tuning stability, while the dreadnought body shape offers the full response players expect from a traditional acoustic powerhouse.
LR Baggs HiFi Electronics
Equipped with the LR Baggs HiFi system, the MD60e delivers outstanding plugged in tone with exceptional balance, warmth and definition. The dual bridge plate sensor design captures the natural acoustic character of the guitar while offering excellent feedback resistance and impressive dynamic response. Whether on stage, in the studio or at home, the MD60e provides a natural amplified voice that complements its rich acoustic character beautifully.
