Alvarez AD66ce Artist Series Solid Top Dreadnought - Shadowburst

The Alvarez AD66ce Artist Series AD66ce in Shadowburst takes the bold dreadnought platform and wraps it in rich, all-mahogany warmth. Designed for players who love strong midrange presence, woody character and a connected feel under the fingers, this is a guitar with serious personality.

Featuring a solid African mahogany top paired with African mahogany back and sides, the AD66ce delivers a focused, warm voice with excellent midrange clarity and a rounded low end. Mahogany tops are known for their natural compression and punchy response, making this model particularly expressive for roots, folk, blues and singer-songwriter styles.

The dreadnought body shape provides powerful projection and impressive volume, while the Shadowburst gloss top adds depth and stage-ready elegance. The natural semi-gloss back and sides keep the look refined and understated — classic with just the right amount of flair.

Alvarez’s FS6 forward-shifted scalloped bracing enhances resonance and allows the mahogany top to vibrate freely. The result is a responsive, articulate instrument that reacts beautifully to both strumming and fingerstyle playing.

The African mahogany neck joins the body at the 14th fret and is paired with an Indian Laurel fingerboard adorned with tasteful MOP and acrylic inlays. With 21 frets and a comfortable playing feel, it’s equally at home laying down rhythm parts or exploring higher melodic passages. A bone nut and saddle contribute to sustain and tonal clarity.

When it’s time to plug in, the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze system provides natural, balanced amplified tone. With onboard volume, bass, treble, phase control and a built-in tuner, it’s perfectly suited for live performance and studio use.

Finished with a Bi-Level Indian Laurel bridge, chrome closed-gear tuners and factory-fitted D’Addario XTAPB1253 strings, the AD66ce is a reliable, expressive dreadnought that blends traditional tone with modern versatility.

For players across Ireland looking for a solid-top mahogany dreadnought with built-in stage power, the AD66ce Shadowburst is a confident and characterful choice.
