Alvarez MG75CE Masterworks Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Natural Gloss)

The MG75ce is our first Cedar/Rosewood all-solid Grand Auditorium, which begs the question. Why did we wait so long to make this guitar? The wood pairing is perfect for those players who love cedar’s warm response to a gentler attack. However, this guitar also responds wonderfully to strumming styles and as a Grand Auditorium, its voice is clear and balanced, handling the projection in an articulate fashion with excellent separation.

Made from a premium, hand-selected Western Red Cedar top and East Indian Rosewood, the MG75ce has a flawless, natural finish giving the guitar an understated elegance. Like all Masterworks, Custom is fitted with the LR Baggs HiFi system. HiFi is a revolutionary new powered-sensor pickup system that delivers an exceptional reproduction of the guitar’s tonality and acoustic personality.

About the Alvarez Masterworks Series

Making a guitar from all-solid wood delivers strong tonal benefits, and we approach the design of Masterworks to embrace all of them. Top thickness, brace weight and tapering, back design and wood choice all count, and when each is considered as a part of the sum total of the instrument’s voice, great articulation and quality of tone is achieved.

Our FS6 bracing system is a forward-shifted, scalloped X allowing for a slightly larger soundboard area around the bridge. This helps generate more vibration, which is heightened by AAA soundboards and premium components throughout, culminating in powerful voicing, inspiring articulation and instant response.

Masterworks acoustic-electric models are fitted with the LR Baggs HiFi system. HiFi is a premium, non-invasive design that pairs dual bridge plate sensors with high-fidelity electronics, providing exceptional balance, definition and dynamics. Due to the closed sensor design, HiFi also has excellent feedback resistance and its built-in, studio-quality preamp is voiced to compliment the pickups for an optimal plug-and-play experience.

All Masterworks ship with our durable AFC30 Flexicase.
