Premium tonewoods





The AG60CE Artist 60 provides a unique collection of a solid A Sitka spruce top with African mahogany back and sides to provide a rich, balanced tone across the board. With full-range output among all ends, you’ll experience a classic sound that only gets further projected through this grand auditorium body shape’s larger soundhole. This AG60CE features Alvarez’s state-of-the-art FS6 forward-shifted bracing system. This allows the Grand Auditorium to reduce weight while bolstering voicing to harmonious effect, unifying the company’s midsize guitars with a common sonorous character while retaining the room to tailor tones to each specific shape and player.

LR Baggs EQ-adjustable pickup





Leveraging a flexible film sensor, the LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup creates a highly sought-after quack-free experience. Instead of responding to individual string attack, the Element measures the movement of the soundboard on an ultra-sensitive level, highlighting the true voice of your guitar. A simple build means that this pickup won’t interfere with your natural sound, either. You’ll also have an easy-to-use StagePro EQ system that lets you adjust the ends and tones you produce, giving you further versatility with your instrument.
