Alvarez AG60 Artist Series Solid Top Grand Auditorium

The Alvarez AG60 Artist Series in Shadowburst is a beautifully voiced Grand Auditorium designed to deliver clarity, balance and dynamic response in a striking, stage-ready finish. If you’re after versatility — something that handles fingerstyle, strumming and light lead work with equal confidence — this is right in the sweet spot.

At its core is a solid A+ Sitka spruce top, independently graded to meet Alvarez’s high standards. If the top isn’t worthy, it doesn’t make the cut. The result is a lively, articulate voice with sparkling highs and impressive dynamic range. Paired with African mahogany back and sides, the AG60 produces warm, focused mids and a supportive low end, giving you a well-rounded tonal palette that sits beautifully in solo or ensemble settings.

The Grand Auditorium body shape offers exceptional balance across all six strings. It’s comfortable to hold, responsive to a lighter touch and powerful enough when you dig in. Whether you’re writing at home, recording in the studio or performing live, it delivers clarity and projection without overwhelming bass bloom.

Internally, the AG60 features FS6 forward-shifted scalloped bracing, carefully tuned to maximise vibration and resonance. Alvarez’s curing and seasoning processes — including their Advanced Tonal Response (ATR™) treatment — enhance stability and help the top respond with maturity and openness from day one. The result is excellent note separation, quicker response and a more refined overall voice.

The 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, a bone nut and saddle, and a Bi-Level Indian Laurel bridge, the AG60 offers smooth playability and dependable sustain.

Visually, the Shadowburst gloss top adds depth and elegance, complemented by natural semi-gloss back and sides, chrome closed-gear tuners and PPS synthetic bone bridge pins. Fitted with D’Addario XTAPB1253 strings, it’s ready to perform straight out of the box.

For players in Ireland looking for a solid-top Grand Auditorium with premium build detail, responsive tone and refined aesthetics, the AG60 Shadowburst is a seriously compelling option.
