Alvarez Masterworks OM MF60E Herringbone - Acoustic Electric Guitar

Alvarez Masterworks OM MF60E Herringbone Acoustic Electric Guitar

For some players, the OM is the perfect guitar. Designed correctly, its body shape can deliver near perfect balance and separation. We designed the MF60e to do exactly that, giving players impressive balance in both tonality and volume across all six strings, making it an articulate and accurate instrument.

Tonally we have balanced the compression available from the smaller body size with a lighter weight X-brace design. This keeps the OM’s round notes and super-fast response, but balances those features with a more open projection. No matter what music or playing style you gravitate to, this all-solid, finely dressed guitar is a true all-rounder with an impressive, eloquent voicing.

The MF60e is fitted with the LR Baggs HiFi system.

About the Alvarez Masterworks Series

Making a guitar from all-solid wood delivers strong tonal benefits, and we approach the design of Masterworks to embrace all of them. Top thickness, brace weight and tapering, back design and wood choice all count, and when each is considered as a part of the sum total of the instrument’s voice, great articulation and quality of tone is achieved.

Our FS6 bracing system is a forward-shifted, scalloped X allowing for a slightly larger soundboard area around the bridge. This helps generate more vibration, which is heightened by AAA soundboards and premium components throughout, culminating in powerful voicing, inspiring articulation and instant response.

Masterworks acoustic-electric models are fitted with the LR Baggs HiFi system. HiFi is a premium, non-invasive design that pairs dual bridge plate sensors with high-fidelity electronics, providing exceptional balance, definition and dynamics. Due to the closed sensor design, HiFi also has excellent feedback resistance and its built-in, studio-quality preamp is voiced to compliment the pickups for an optimal plug-and-play experience.
