Full Description

Grand Auditorium Cutaway

The Grand Auditorium body is one of the most versatile body shapes, and allows for both fingerpicking and strumming. It offers a superb balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, yielding clear, well-defined notes. The grand auditorium's overall tone tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage. With its versatile tonal options, it is a particular favourite amongst singer-songwriters who benefit from its versatility for composing and traveling with one guitar. Its smooth cutaway design, offers more than just a visual appeal and allows easier access to the higher frets, offering tonal versatility and making it the perfect choice for people who want a single guitar that can cover a variety of styles.

Sitka Spruce Top

This great all-purpose guitar is beautifully crafted from a solid A grade sitka spruce top, along with a mahogany body offering both a traditional appearance and a superb tone. Especially hand selected from quarter-sawn wood, this stunning sitka spruce top yields a crisp, versatile tone suitable for many styles of playing. In addition, the AG60CE Electro Acoustic Guitar produces a powerful, direct and un-muddied sound and will retain its clarity when you strum hard.

Mahogany Body

As well as sitka spruce, mahogany is also a dense wood that is capable of delivering a a warm and woody tone with a slightly emphasised mid range. Mahogany also offers a balanced tone that accommodates a versatile range of different playing styles, and is a great choice for those looking for one instrument that can handle many styles from fingerstyle to strumming.

Bracing Enhances the Strength

With its stunning combination of resonant tonewoods, the AG60CE also features a forward shifted X brace design. This type of design includes scalloped X braces and asymmetric tone bars. By moving the bracing system forward, it provides a larger soundboard, which is optimised with a solid maple bridge plate for both strength and energy.

LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element Pick Up

Like many guitars from Alvarez, the AG60CE Electro Acoustic Guitar is equipped with an LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element Pick Up that delivers a powerful volume for larger events. This innovative Element was engineered to mirror the soundboard’s actual movement as you play, and features a flexible film sensor only 2 thousandths of an inch thick which picks up the guitar’s most delicate nuances. Furthermore, its discreet EQ sidemount located on the upper bout, allows you to effortlessly achieve the perfect tone, and also tune up with its additional built-in tuner.

Real Bone Nut

The AG60CE features a real bone nut, which maintains its authentic appearance. The main purpose of a using a real bone nut compared to modern materials is due the fact that bone offers excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer.

D'Addario EXP strings

The AG60CE 's final ingredient is a set of D’Addario EXP strings. These plain steel strings feature hexagonal cores made of revolutionary NY High Carbon Steel. Manufactured in New York, these newly engineered, break-resistant, high-carbon strings deliver unprecedented strength and pitch stability.
