Beautifully voiced, professional guitars made from all-solid, seasoned tone woods.
All solid wood really does make a difference, and Alvarez made sure each Masterworks gets the best out their solid wood construction. They are very open sounding, powerful instruments with rounded notes and plenty of bass.
The all-new MDA66CESHB is made from a hand selected, solid African mahogany top, and solid, fully-cured African mahogany back and sides. Each component is made of natural material, including real bone saddles and nuts, Acacia Koa binding, purfling, ebony bridge pins and green inlays.
Masterworks guitars feature a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50/50 finish, premium tuners with ebony buttons, and 12th Fret inlay.
The Masterworks bracing system is forward shifted with scalloped, hand finished X braces that allow these guitars to project incredibly well. There’s lots of sustain and dynamic response.
Either strummed or picked, the separation and balance across the strings is unprecedented in this price range. The SYS650 preamp with built-in tuner accurately captures all of the raw power and detailed tonal textures of these incredible instruments.

Outstanding tone and playability.
The perfect acoustic for all styles. The playability and tone is second to none. This guitar costs less than a Yamaha A3 ARE and Guild D150 and blows them away in every regard. Note definition and volume is even across all strings. The action was great right out of the box. The electronics accuratel...

Beautiful Guitar with Great Sound
I have had mid-priced Taylors and Martins and I like this Alvarez better than my previous acoustic-electric guitars. The finish is beautiful and the sound is bright and full. The set up is very good, right out of the box and the guitar stays in tune. This may be the last acoustic-electric I ever buy...
