Overview
Beautifully voiced, professional guitars made from all-solid, seasoned tone woods.
All solid wood really does make a difference, and Alvarez made sure each Masterworks gets the best out their solid wood construction. They are very open sounding, powerful instruments with rounded notes and plenty of bass.
The MDA66CESHB is made from a hand selected, solid African mahogany top, and solid, fully-cured African mahogany back and sides. Each component is made of natural material, including real bone saddles and nuts, Acacia Koa binding, purfling, ebony bridge pins and green inlays.
Masterworks guitars feature a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50/50 finish, premium tuners with ebony buttons, and 12th Fret inlay.
The Masterworks bracing system is forward shifted with scalloped, hand finished X braces that allow these guitars to project incredibly well. There's lots of sustain and dynamic response. Either strummed or picked, the separation and balance across the strings is unprecedented in this price range. The SYS650 preamp with built-in tuner accurately captures all of the raw power and detailed tonal textures of these incredible instruments.

I've played guitar for a very long time and decided that I should finally purchase and nice acoustic. I've played Alvarez guitars before and was impressed by their quality. Alvarez guitars are exceptional and the best part is they can compete with Taylors and Martins for a fraction of the price. The case has a vintage look and the guitar is a beauty. My advice to anyone looking for an excellent guitar is to seriously take a look at this one. I agree 100% with all the other positive reviews it's received.
