Overview
A home practice room is the natural setting for the Alvarez Artist Series AD60, a full-size dreadnought with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back, sides and neck. Paua abalone and mother-of-pearl inlays and ivory ABS binding dress the body.
Tops are hand selected from quarter-sawn wood and cut a little thinner so they vibrate more, which the maker credits with a richer tone. That build and the warranty are the reason to consider it. Accessories are not listed.
Who it's for
Acoustic players who want a traditional dreadnought voice and a long warranty. Anyone after a compact folk body, or any electronics, should look at another model.
Pros and cons
- Full-size dreadnought body
- Hand-selected spruce top
- Bone saddle and nut
- Paua abalone and mother-of-pearl inlays
- No pickup or case described
- Larger body is less portable
Performance notes
A quarter-sawn, slightly thinner top vibrates more, which the maker links to a richer tone. The dreadnought body moves more air than a compact folk body. A fixed bridge anchors the steel strings.
