Product Description
Alvarez’s acoustic range is notoriously diverse, and features a raft of stunning guitars that emit the most glorious of tones. The Masterworks MFA66CESHB is one such model, an elegant OM-style instrument with a unique look and a luxurious sound.
Key Features
- Solid African Mahogany body, including top
- One-piece Mahogany neck
- Pau Ferro fretboard
- Abalone/Mother of Pearl inlays
- 50/50 gloss/satin finish for comfort and durability
- LR Baggs Element pickup
- LR Baggs StagePro EQ
Construction
The Alvarez MFA66CESHB is constructed predominantly from Solid African Mahogany, with its entire body crafted from this exotic tonewood. Offering a supremely warm and rich mid-range, this material also accentuates the lows to ensure that the full dynamic range of the instrument is heard.
The MFA66CESHB also features Alvarez’s thoughtful FST2 bracing, which is essentially a forward-shifted X brace design. With the axis of the X closer to the sound hole, this design forms a larger soundboard area that can harness more vibrations from the strings. This allows the guitar to resonate more naturally, giving it additional volume and an airy top-end.
Electronics
Fitted with an LR Baggs StagePro Element system, the Alvarez MFA66CESHB will offer an authentic tonality when plugged into a PA System or recording interface. Class-leaders in acoustic pickup technology, LR Baggs’ StagePro system will translate the acoustic voice of the MFA66CESHB very convincingly, capturing its full spectrum of frequencies.
Sporting a 3-band EQ section as well as a phase inversion switch, you can tailor the tone of this instrument to suit the acoustic qualities of any space. For example, if you’re playing in a particularly dark-sounding venue, just boost the treble and you’ll cut through effortlessly!
The Masterworks Range
Alvarez’s tagline for their Masterworks range is ‘Truly Eloquent Professional Guitars’. Just shy of their hand-crafted Yairi range, the Masterworks offerings are the cream of the crop. As with the rest of their diverse range, Alvarez are committed to offering stunning aesthetics, familiar playability and classy acoustic tones.
The Masterworks guitars are defined by their all-solid tonewood construction, meticulous attention to detail and designs inspired by the most popular acoustics of all-time. If you’re looking for uncompromising quality, look no further than the Alvarez Masterworks acoustics!
