The Alvarez MD60 Masterworks Herringbone Dreadnought is an all-solid acoustic powerhouse, perfect for flatpickers and aggressive strummers seeking both raw volume and refined tone. Designed to embody the spirit of traditional Bluegrass guitars, this beautifully appointed dreadnought projects a crystal-clear, punchy midrange that will slice through any mix.
The Beauty of Solid Tonewoods
A guitar is only as good as the wood it's made from, and the MD60BG doesn't cut corners. It pairs a hand-selected, solid AAA Sitka Spruce top with fully cured solid African Mahogany back and sides to produce a bold, balanced roar. The all-solid construction ensures every note vibrates freely, giving you an incredibly responsive and dynamic range that breathes with your playing.
AAA Sitka Spruce Top: Delivers sparkling trebles and articulate highs, ensuring your fastest flatpicking runs ring out with pristine clarity.
African Mahogany Body: Pumps out a warm, punchy midrange and powerful bass response, anchoring your rhythm sections with a deep, driving heartbeat.
Real Bone Nut and Saddle: Maximizes the transfer of vibrational energy from the strings to the soundboard, rewarding your hands with endless, singing sustain.
A Dreadnought that Projects with Breathtaking Power
You don’t just want to be heard; you want to be felt. Alvarez engineered the inner workings of this dreadnought to push serious air. From the specialized bracing to the advanced curing process, the MD60 is a masterclass in acoustic architecture, ensuring your performance projects to the very back of the room.
FS6 Bracing System: Hand-scalloped, forward-shifted X braces liberate the soundboard, unleashing a massive, explosive response to your pick attack.
Advanced Tonal Response (ATR): This specialized torrefaction process seasons the spruce top to perfection. By removing moisture and resins, ATR gives you that wide-open, resonant tone of a well-aged vintage guitar from the very first strum.
Bi-Level Bridge: Increases string tension over the saddle, significantly boosting volume, clarity, and tonal balance across all six strings.
Vintage Vibes, Modern Playability
The MD60 proudly displays its traditional Bluegrass heritage with premium appointments and a neck that practically plays itself. This guitar is a tuxedo-clad workhorse, equally prepared for late-night porch picking and bright stadium lights.
Classic Herringbone Details: Features eye-catching herringbone purfling, a tortoiseshell-style pickguard, and vintage open-gear nickel tuners for rock-solid tuning stability.
One-Piece Mahogany Neck: A slick 50/50 finish and an East Indian Rosewood fingerboard offer a smooth, fatigue-free grip for marathon gigs.
Deluxe AFC30 Gig Bag: This rugged, heavily padded gig bag protects your investment, making it easy to get your guitar from the studio to the stage safely.
The Ultimate Acoustic Workhorse
Elevate your performance with the Alvarez MD60 Masterworks Herringbone Dreadnought, a professional-grade, all-solid acoustic guitar that won't break the bank. It combines the powerful projection of a classic dreadnought with the articulate soul of a vintage instrument. Ready to feel the music? Just grab a pick, strum a G-chord, and let the rich, resonant tones vibrate right through you.

Great Dreadnought!
Alvarez really put together a nice Dreadnought! I use it when playing with a group of friends and it never fails to perform! From finger-style to hard strumming, it does the job. It is a well made, attractive guitar with solid wood at an affordable price. It always performs way above it's price tag!

Alvarez Masterworks is the Real Deal
Alvarez MD60 Blue Grass acoustic guitar is the perfect fit. It’s well crafted from fine materials and it’s lightweight yet rich with that full sound. After good research and trying both guitars I chose this Alvarez over its much higher priced competitor. It’s a real deal!
