Alvarez Masterworks Series

The Alvarez Masterworks Series offers the most carefully designed, intricately detailed, and meticulously crafted acoustic guitars, with the most dynamic and responsive tone. Each model features a Rosewood back and sides to give you balanced, warm, and embracing undertones. The Masterworks Series has been designed to give you the best Alvarez has to offer, with modern refinements like the FS6 X-bracing, and Hi-Fi LR Baggs system.

Here’s what Alvarez has to say about the Alvarez Masterworks Dreadnought Cutaway & Bevels Spruce top Rosewood back Shadowburst LR Baggs HiFi

Our Custom Masterworks models offer elegance and tonality, with innovative features and premium tonewoods and components throughout. The slim front-bevel armrest reduces negative impact to top performance while offering comfort, especially when playing longer sessions. The ergonomics continue with a second bevel on the back side of the guitar. This “chest-rest” is a slim bevel at the back waist and lower bout which often leans into your body when playing. Removing this edge allows you to lean the guitar into the body without the binding creating any discomfort. The look and feel add comfort and a striking aesthetic to this custom model.

The feature list on Custom models continues with premium abalone purfling, a flawless Shadowburst finish and cutaway. Like all Masterworks, 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.

This MD70ce Custom is made with a AAA North American top and hand-selected East Indian Rosewood back and sides. It is a powerful instrument with impressive bass response and excellent overall volume which is enhanced by its shimmering trebles. This is a very articulate Dreadnought with lots of tonal color and breadth, and beautifully dressed.

Electro-Acoustic

Electro-acoustic guitars are acoustic instruments fitted with built-in pickups or microphones that allow them to be amplified or connected directly to a PA system or amplifier. They retain the natural acoustic tone and feel of a traditional acoustic guitar while adding the convenience of onboard electronics.

They are commonly used for live performance and recording, especially in situations where consistent volume and clarity are needed. Electro-acoustic guitars often include controls for volume and tone, and sometimes built-in tuners, making them a practical choice for gigging musicians who want an acoustic sound with modern flexibility.
