In the years since Alvarez first debuted the AD60, this incredible instrument would become the gold-standard acoustic guitar with which all other models would be compared. Fast-forward over a decade later, and today's AD60CE Artist series dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar proudly carries on this tradition with a thoroughly professional sound and stellar looks to match. Its luscious tonewood cocktail is sure to please the ears of all in its presence, consisting of African mahogany for the back and sides and a high-quality Sitka spruce top for a considerable volume boost. Sweetwater strummers thoroughly appreciate the AD60CE's silky-smooth mahogany neck and Indian laurel fingerboard, an ideal mix when needing speed as well as comfort. High-end LR Baggs electronics deliver natural and organic amplified acoustic tones, ensuring the AD60CE is well equipped for the stage. To maximize this 6-string's value, Alvarez went with a genuine bone nut and saddle, improving sustain and stability in ways similarly priced instruments are unable to. Step up your acoustic game and add the Alvarez AD60CE to the gear collection for great sound, gorgeous looks, and top-notch playability.
