Alvarez AD60CE 12-String Artist Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Shadowburst)

Our Artist Series Dreadnoughts are crafted to achieve outstanding levels of fit, finish, and tonal ability. They are powerful, articulate and voiced to get the best from the Dreadnought body mass through our FS6, forward-shifted, scalloped bracing system. Sonically, they have a broad projection with clear, sonorous bass frequencies and lively trebles.

The AD60ce 12-String Dreadnought is a powerful, bold and open guitar constructed from all-Mahogany laminates and A+ solid, North American Sitka spruce top. It has a flawless, thin gloss finish on the top, which exudes a lustrous shine, complemented by a semi-gloss sheen on the back and sides. These features help the soundbox vibrate and respond intuitively to your playing. This impressive 12-string has all the chime and chorus you would expect and it’s an ideal guitar for sonic discovery.

This cutaway model allows for easy access up the neck, and is finished in our flawless Shadowburst and fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze. The StagePro Bronze is a small-footprint side-mounted EQ incorporating the renowned LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup. This is a low-profile unit with a large backlit tuner, volume, bass and treble controls and phase. The battery box is built into the end pin jack compartment for easy access with a simple push to open and change batteries.

About Artist Series

Our goal is to create an instant bond between you and your guitar through meticulous design in bracing, voicing and overall construction. Every component - from our bi-level bridge to our solid bridge plates and neck blocks - is carefully considered to deliver the best response possible from solid-top construction.

Artist Series guitars are responsive with impressive projection and balance that make them both rewarding and inspiring to play.

With a huge selection of body shapes and wood configurations, Artist Series has a guitar for everyone. For a more focused, woody tone, choose a Mahogany top. For a broader, more open projection, choose Sitka. For a warm response to a lighter, melodic touch, choose Cedar.
