Alvarez Artist Series AD60SHB – Shadowburst

Jump into the world of fantastic acoustic tone with the Alvarez Artist Series AD60SHB Dreadnought! This award-winning guitar is all about delivering a dynamic, open, and powerful voice thats usually reserved for much more expensive instruments. It pairs a hand-selected, solid A+ Sitka Spruce topknown for its stiffness and ability to provide huge, open projectionwith African Mahogany back and sides. This “tonewood cocktail” gives you the best of both worlds: the Sitka Spruce ensures a quick, lively response and a strong volume boost, while the African Mahogany contributes a full-bodied warmth and articulate sound, especially in the mids, that players love.

The careful curation of tonewoods and design details like the Alvarez FST2M bracing system, which shifts the X-braces forward and scallops the tone bars to optimize the soundboard’s energy, allows the guitar’s voice to ring out with impeccable clarity and balance. Whether you’re a hard strummer looking for pure power or a light picker who needs instant responsiveness, this Dreadnought shape will shout right back at you or whisper gently. Finished in a gorgeous Shadowburst, this guitar is a truly amazing value that brings professional sound and top-notch playability to your hands.
