Description

The Alvarez Masterworks MF60E Folk OM Electro Acoustic in Natural is an all-solid, elegantly voiced OM designed for players who crave balance, clarity and responsiveness. With its AAA Sitka spruce top, solid African mahogany back and sides, and LR Baggs HiFi electronics, it delivers articulate acoustic tone and a natural, studio-quality sound when plugged in, making it a superb all-rounder for fingerstyle, flatpicking and strumming alike. Carefully voiced around Alvarez’s FS6 forward-shifted bracing, the MF60E offers impressive balance in both tonality and volume across all six strings. Notes speak quickly and cleanly, with a focused low end, clear mids and shimmering highs that never become harsh. Whether you are accompanying vocals, playing intricate arrangements or switching between styles, this OM responds instantly and musically to every nuance of your touch. The smaller OM body is paired with a lighter X-brace design to keep the trademark roundness and speed of response associated with this shape, while opening up the projection for a more expansive, room-filling sound. The result is a guitar that feels intimate under the hands yet carries confidently, equally at home on stage, in the studio or on the sofa. Premium touches run throughout the instrument, from the East Indian rosewood fingerboard and bi-level bridge to the bone nut and saddle and open-gear tuners. The LR Baggs HiFi system completes the package, offering a non-invasive dual-sensor pickup and preamp that captures the MF60E’s natural acoustic voice with superb balance, definition and feedback resistance. Balanced OM Tone and Projection Designed to deliver near-perfect balance and separation, the MF60E’s OM body shape and carefully voiced construction provide even response across all six strings. Chords remain clear and defined, single-note lines cut through without sounding thin, and the guitar maintains a satisfying fullness at any dynamic level. FS6 Forward Shifted Bracing Alvarez’s FS6 forward-shifted, scalloped X-bracing increases the active soundboard area around the bridge, allowing the AAA Sitka spruce top to move more freely. This generates greater volume, richer overtones and faster response, giving you a lively, expressive instrument that reacts immediately to subtle changes in pick or finger attack. All Solid Tonewoods The combination of a solid AAA Sitka spruce top with solid African mahogany back and sides delivers a classic, versatile acoustic voice. Spruce provides clarity, headroom and definition, while mahogany adds warmth and focus, resulting in a guitar that handles delicate fingerstyle, dynamic strumming and everything in between with ease. LR Baggs HiFi Electronics The LR Baggs HiFi system uses dual bridge plate sensors and a studio-quality preamp to reproduce the MF60E’s acoustic character with impressive realism. Its high-fidelity design offers excellent balance, dynamics and feedback resistance, giving you a reliable, plug-and-play solution for live performance and recording.
