Overview
The Alvarez 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, Paua Abolone purflings, ebony bridge pins and green abalone inlays. Masterworks guitars feature a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50/50 finish, premium tuners with ebony buttons, and 12th fret abalone 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 LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element Pick Up preamp captures all of the raw power and detailed tonal textures of these incredible instruments.

I've played guitar for a very long time and decided that I should finally purchase and nice acoustic. I've played Alvarez guitars before and was impressed by their quality. Alvarez guitars are exceptional and the best part is they can compete with Taylors and Martins for a fraction of the price. The case has a vintage look and the guitar is a beauty. My advice to anyone looking for an excellent guitar is to seriously take a look at this one. I agree 100% with all the other positive reviews it's received.
