Product Description

The Alvarez Artist Series AF66 OM style Acoustic Guitar combines one of the most classic and instantly recognisable acoustic guitar designs with the beautiful looks and warmth of an all-Mahogany guitar, for a mid-sized acoustic that’s built to be your ultimate 6-string companion.

Featuring Alvarez’s 15-degree headstock with an increased angle in partnership with Alvarez’s bi-level bridge, this acoustic has a responsive and full sound with a more even string tension between each string. Thanks to its articulate, warm, well-balanced tone, this OM-shaped acoustic excels at both fingerstyle playing and strumming and is perfect for just about every style of music.

The OM Design

OM stands for Orchestra Model. This design took influence from small-bodied 0 and 00, adopting a similarly slim, rounded design but with an increase in overall size. This ensures an accessible, comfortable playing experience but adds plenty more depth to the sound. Combining modern manufacturing techniques with unique tonewood treatments, Alvarez OM acoustics give you an authentic tone with a focused midrange, perfect for folky strumming and soft fingerpicking styles.

Who is Alvarez?

Established in 1965 by major US instrument distributor St. Louis Music, Alvarez teamed up with master luthier Kazuo Yairi with the aim of producing the finest guitars in the world.

The success of Alvarez-Yairi guitars helped put the brand on the market, and are still handmade in Kani, Japan to this day. In the decades that followed, Alvarez significantly expanded their operation and now produces one of the most extensive and diverse ranges of acoustic instruments in the world.

Ranging from affordable entry-level to world-class handmade instruments, Alvarez have got everything covered. Their instruments have been used by the likes of Johnny Cash, Paul McCartney, Carlos Santana, Ani DiFranco and many more – they’re obviously doing something right!
