Alvarez AD60S Artist Series Acoustic GuitarThe Alvarez AD60S is a mahogany Dreadnought with a solid spruce top and white binding, a white pearl soundhole rosette and a natural finish.
Like the rest of the Alvarez Artist line, the AD60S is a finely crafted guitar of uncommon beauty. Details include highly polished, perfectly dressed frets, and Alvarez' direct-coupled bridge.
About the Bridge
The patented Yairi Direct Coupled Bridge is both visually unique and ultimately functional. This significant improvement in guitar design better utilizes the energy of the vibrating string by coupling the string to the top – a more efficient transfer of energy. This energy is applied directly to the top, increasing volume and projection. With traditional bridge designs, string tension forces the bridge toward the neck. This causes lifting of the bridge at the rear and a dip in the top behind the soundhole. The Yairi Direct Coupled Bridge redirects the string tension downward on the bridge, eliminating the problems of lifting and top distortion, and allowing lighter bracing of the top for maximum tone.
