Alvarez AF60SHB Artist Series Folk/OM Acoustic Guitar – Shadowburst Gloss

Dive into the award-winning tone of the Alvarez Artist Series with this stunning Folk/OM-shaped acoustic. This guitar combines a solid A+ Sitka Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides to deliver a sound that is both focused and powerful. Sitka Spruce is renowned for its stiffness and strength, giving the guitar plenty of volume and projection, while the African Mahogany body adds a warm, mid-range richness and resonant sustain that is perfect for a variety of playing styles, from aggressive strumming to delicate fingerpicking.

The Folk/OM shape is incredibly comfortable and versatile, making it a favorite among players who appreciate a balanced, articulate voice without the boominess of a larger body. Alvarezs meticulous craftsmanship, including the FST2M Forward Shifted Scalloped X bracing system and a real bone nut and saddle, ensures that all the harmonic energy is translated into a lively, responsive, and sweet-sounding instrument. Whether you’re recording, playing live, or just enjoying a relaxing session at home, this guitar is built to inspire.
