Alvarez AF66ce Artist Series Solid Top Cutaway Folk/OM - Shadowburst

The Alvarez AF66ce Artist Series Folk/OM in Shadowburst delivers rich, all-mahogany tone in a beautifully balanced OM body with professional electronics. If you’re drawn to warmth, midrange presence and a naturally expressive response, this model absolutely hits the mark.

Constructed with a solid African mahogany top and matching African mahogany back and sides, the AF66ce produces a warm, woody voice with excellent note definition. Mahogany tops are known for their natural compression and punch — giving chords a focused thump and single notes a smooth, articulate edge. It’s an inspiring choice for folk, blues, roots and singer-songwriter styles.

The OM (Orchestra Model) body shape keeps everything balanced and controlled. It offers impressive string-to-string clarity without the low-end boom of a dreadnought, making it ideal for fingerstyle players and nuanced strummers. The cutaway design allows easy access to higher frets, opening the door to melodic work and upper-register voicings.

Internally, the FS6 forward-shifted scalloped bracing enhances vibration and responsiveness, allowing the mahogany top to resonate freely while maintaining structural integrity. The result is a lively, connected feel that responds beautifully to your touch.

The African mahogany neck, joining the body at the 14th fret, pairs with an Indian Laurel fingerboard featuring elegant MOP and acrylic inlays. With 21 frets, a bone nut and saddle, and a Bi-Level Indian Laurel bridge, the AF66ce offers smooth playability, reliable intonation and strong sustain. Chrome closed-gear tuners ensure stable tuning performance.

Plug in and the trusted LR Baggs StagePro Bronze system delivers natural, balanced amplified tone. With onboard volume, bass and treble controls, phase switch and built-in tuner, it’s perfectly equipped for live performance, rehearsal and recording.

Finished with a striking Shadowburst gloss top and natural semi-gloss back and sides, and fitted with D’Addario XTAPB1253 strings, the AF66ce blends vintage warmth with modern performance versatility.

For players across Ireland looking for a solid-top mahogany OM with premium electronics and refined styling, the AF66ce Shadowburst is a standout choice.
