All-solid-wood construction





The MF60CE's solid AAA Sitka spruce top not only looks incredible, but it infuses this acoustic-electric guitar with a direct, punchy tone with headroom to spare. MF60CE's sides are made from solid African mahogany, a tonewood praised for its wonderful dynamic range, meaty midrange, and ear-grabbing overtones. This acoustic-electric guitar boasts a slim-tapered Folk/OM shape with a cutaway to allow easy access to its higher frets. Underneath the MF60CE's quarter-sawn soundboard, forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing lends serious volume to every note you play.





Top-notch tones from LR Baggs





The included LR Baggs HiFi high-fidelity bridge plate pickup system will capture every nuance of your instrument's voice without modifying its natural acoustic character. Two lightweight bridge plate sensors produce a mirror image of your guitar's unplugged tone, with incredible balance, clear articulation, and a highly dynamic feel. Moreover, the built-in studio preamp system was fine-tuned from the ground up to pair perfectly with the bridge sensors, resulting in a pickup system that offers the utmost sonic authenticity. Sweetwater acoustic players have long trusted LR Baggs systems to deliver high-quality, unwavering performance, and the MF60CE gets that same VIP treatment.





Fashioned for success





Across the board, the MF60CE carries traits exemplary of top-shelf instruments. All-natural string response and phenomenal intonation are delivered by way of real bone nut and saddle pins, a bi-level rosewood bridge, and a set of ultra-precise Alvarez 20:1 tuners. A stunning 12th-fret paua abalone and mother-of-pearl inlay matches the Alvarez logo found at the East Indian rosewood headstock. Meanwhile a dual-ring abalone/ABS rosette encompasses the soundhole with true elegance.
