Alvarez Masterworks Series MD60 Herringbone Sitka/African Mahogany Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar #2085

The Alvarez Masterworks MD60 Herringbone pairs a solid AAA Sitka spruce top with solid African mahogany back and sides in a full-size dreadnought, giving players the powerful, warm projection that's made this pairing a workhorse standard for decades. The natural gloss finish lets the mahogany's grain show through, and herringbone purfling around the top edge gives it a touch of vintage detail without pushing the price into boutique territory.

The East Indian rosewood fingerboard and bi-level rosewood bridge keep the low end tight and the mids present, so the dreadnought sits well under a strumming hand without turning boomy. FS6 bracing keeps the response lively and balanced, and premium mother-of-pearl inlays dress up the fingerboard without adding unnecessary flash.

A comfortable African mahogany neck with a 1 3/4-inch nut width and 14th-fret body join make this dreadnought feel immediately familiar in the hands. Bone nut and saddle, ebony bridge pins, and premium open-gear tuners keep tuning stable through hard strumming. It ships with D'Addario strings and an Alvarez AFC30 case, ready for the player who wants a dependable, full-voiced dreadnought at a fair price.
