The Masterworks Series offers meticulous attention to detail and wonderfully articulate tone for acoustic players of all stripes. The MG60CESHB's formidable features include a Sitka spruce top and African mahogany back and sides, creating a balanced and robust guitar output with surprisingly high sustain. An onboard LR Baggs StagePro Element pickup ensures that this tone is amplified efficiently and faithfully, making it perfect for the stage. Creating a wonderfully blended Grand Auditorium acoustic with immaculate sound and modern electronics is no easy feat, especially at this affordable price point, but the Alvarez MG60CESHB from Sweetwater ticks all the right boxes.

Alvarez Guitars | Quality Is in the Details


Hand-selected Grand Auditorium tone





Over 50 years of producing tried-and-true tone has manifest in Alvarez’ Masterworks Series guitars. Chief luthiers hand select specific woods to ensure that the product they are producing is reliable, consistent, and easy on your ears. From the material and construction stage to the finishing and listing stage, each Masterworks guitar is monitored and handled carefully, keeping your guitar perfect throughout the entire process. The Masterworks Series also strives to keep prices low, providing you with a cutting-edge product at an amount that won’t break the bank.





Pure acoustic accents across the board





Alvarez hand selects quality woods to ensure you’re getting remarkable tone. AAA Sitka Spruce tops the MG60CESHB, providing a well-rounded, balanced tone with a crisp high end. With the addition of an African mahogany back and sides, a pronounced lower mid is introduced with a mellow high end and prominent sustain. A carefully selected mixture of tonewoods always amounts to a remarkably balanced, attractive sound, and the MG60CESHB is no exception.





LR Baggs electronics





Onboard LR Baggs StagePro Element electronics ensure rich acoustic tone even when amplified. Alvarez has an excellent relationship with the LR Baggs team and chose Element electronics based on their reliability, ease of use, and, of course, tone. Unlike traditional acoustic pickups, the Element preamp delivers a more authentic acoustic tone by mirroring the soundboard’s actual movements and vibrations. Plus, it includes an onboard tuner and a 3-band EQ for endless tone-sculpting potential.
