The MD60BG’s deliver on all fronts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese superbly dressed guitars are super responsive with clear, powerful bass and sparkling trebles. It’s cosmetics pay tribute to traditional Bluegrass guitars with open gear nickel tuners, classic inlays, high quality tortoiseshell style pickguard and even a slightly extended fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing can really match a guitar made from all-solid wood. The deflection of the notes is quicker, the quality of the sound is better, you can obtain optimal response and the sound of your guitar will improve as it ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach guitar is designed to get the best out if its components, and for them to work together. These components include their FST2 bracing system, bi-level rosewood \/Pau Ferro extended bridge, real bone nut and saddle, carefully seasoned tone wood and a thin finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBETTER BRACING BETTER TONE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFST2 is a forward shifted X brace design, this means the axis of the X is closer to the sound hole and therefore creates a larger soundboard area allowing for more energy and vibration to be harnessed. Both the X braces and asymmetric tone bars are carefully scalloped. The scalloping design was the result of years of continual development in their Yairi workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMASTERWORKS WHERE QUALITY AND INGENIUTY CONVERGE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Masterworks personality is open and powerful. FST2 also creates very good balance so both the treble and bass registers are clearly present and balanced in relation to each other. All of their tops are selected by their team and graded independently of their suppliers. If it isn’t worthy, we won’t use it. Top quality in Masterworks is at least AA grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with a more angled headstock, their bi-level bridge increases string tension by making the break angel of the strings from the saddle to the top more acute. Improved string tension adds to their sound, feel and response, which are also heightened by the use of real bone nuts and saddles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specs \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Wood: \u003c\/b\u003e Solid AAA Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/b\u003e Natural\/Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack and Sides Wood: \u003c\/b\u003e Solid African Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShape: \u003c\/b\u003e Dreadnought\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck: \u003c\/b\u003e One piece mahogany, 50\/50 Semi gloss finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003e Bi-Level Indian Laurel\/Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInlays: \u003c\/b\u003e Paua Abalone \u0026amp; Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard: \u003c\/b\u003e Indian Laurel, 12th Fret Inlay Extended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut and Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003e Real Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner: \u003c\/b\u003e Nickel Open Gear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003e Herringbone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins: \u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrings: \u003c\/b\u003e D'Addario EXP16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccessories: \u003c\/b\u003e AF30 FlexiCase\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing Systems: \u003c\/b\u003e FS6 Forward Shifted, Tapered Tone Bars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Joint: \u003c\/b\u003e Dovetail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Meets Body: \u003c\/b\u003e 14th Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup \/ EQ: \u003c\/b\u003e LR Baggs VTC Element System\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOverall Length (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e1042\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBody Width (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e395\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBody Depth at Heel (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e100\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBody Depth at Base (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e124\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eScale (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Joint:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDovetail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Meets Body:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14th Fret\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale (inches): \u003c\/b\u003e25 1\/2\"\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNumber of frets: \u003c\/b\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNut Width (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e44.45\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNut Width (inches): \u003c\/b\u003e1 3\/4\"\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePRODUCT MATERIALS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries: \u003c\/b\u003eAlvarez Masterworks\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTop Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eSolid AA Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTop Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eNatural\/Gloss\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eSolid African Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31002181959722,"sku":"04ALV069","price":799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/products\/MD60EBG-Front-1.png?v=1659035455","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/alvarez-md60ebg-masterworks-bluegrass-dreadnought-acoustic-electric-guitar","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
