Alvarez AD60ce Artist Series Solid Top Dreadnought - Shadowburst

Bold projection. Refined finish. Ready for the stage.

The Alvarez AD60ce Artist Series AD60ce in Shadowburst is a powerful, articulate dreadnought built for players who want commanding projection, modern reliability and striking looks in one seriously well-balanced instrument.

At its heart is a solid A+ Sitka spruce top, delivering broad dynamic range, crisp articulation and lively trebles. Paired with African mahogany back and sides, the result is a rich, rounded low end with warm, woody mids and clear top-end sparkle. Whether you’re driving strong rhythm parts or picking out detailed melodies, the AD60ce responds with confidence and clarity.

The dreadnought body shape maximises volume and projection, making it ideal for strummers, singer-songwriters and players who need their acoustic to carry in a live setting. The elegant Shadowburst gloss top, combined with natural semi-gloss back and sides, gives the guitar a refined, stage-ready presence without feeling flashy.

Alvarez’s FS6 forward-shifted scalloped bracing enhances resonance and vibration across the soundboard, helping the guitar breathe freely and respond intuitively to your touch. From soft fingerstyle to energetic strumming, it delivers balance and power in equal measure.

The comfortable African mahogany neck meets the body at the 14th fret and is paired with an Indian Laurel fingerboard featuring tasteful MOP and acrylic inlays. With 21 frets and a smooth-playing surface, it’s built for both rhythm work and lead lines higher up the neck. A bone nut and saddle further enhance sustain and tonal clarity.

Plugged in, the AD60ce is fitted with the highly respected LR Baggs StagePro Bronze system, offering volume, bass and treble controls, phase switch and a built-in tuner — perfect for stage use, rehearsal or studio recording. It delivers natural, balanced amplified tone that stays true to the guitar’s acoustic character.

Finished with a Bi-Level Indian Laurel bridge, chrome closed-gear tuners and factory-fitted D’Addario XTAPB1253 strings, this is a dependable, great-sounding workhorse with serious visual appeal.
