Alvarez AF60ce Artist Series Solid Top Cutaway Folk/OM - Shadowburst

Articulate balance. Premium detail. Stage-ready performance.

The Alvarez AF60ce Artist Series Folk/OM in Shadowburst is where refined OM comfort meets upgraded tonewoods and professional electronics. Designed for players who demand clarity, responsiveness and visual elegance, this is a beautifully balanced acoustic built to perform.

At the heart of the AF60ce is a solid A+ Sitka spruce top, independently graded to ensure superior responsiveness and dynamic range. It delivers crisp articulation, sparkling highs and impressive projection. Paired with African mahogany back and sides, the tone is warm, focused and rich through the midrange, with controlled lows that never overpower.

The OM (Orchestra Model) body shape offers exceptional string-to-string balance and note separation. It’s comfortable to hold and particularly well suited to fingerstyle, intricate chord work and expressive melodic playing. The cutaway design allows effortless access to upper frets, making it equally capable for lead passages and modern acoustic arrangements.

Inside, Alvarez’s FS6 forward-shifted scalloped bracing enhances resonance and responsiveness, allowing the top to vibrate freely and produce a lively, open voice. It’s a guitar that reacts beautifully to your touch — subtle when you play softly, confident when you dig in.

The African mahogany neck, joining the body at the 14th fret, pairs with an Indian Laurel fingerboard adorned with elegant MOP and acrylic inlays. With 21 frets, a bone nut and saddle, and a Bi-Level Indian Laurel bridge, the AF60ce offers smooth playability, strong sustain and dependable intonation. Chrome closed-gear tuners ensure tuning stability for rehearsal and stage alike.

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

Finished with a striking Shadowburst gloss top and natural semi-gloss back and sides, and fitted with D’Addario XTAPB1253 strings, the AF60ce combines refined aesthetics with serious tonal capability.

For players in Ireland seeking a premium solid-top OM acoustic with trusted LR Baggs electronics, the AF60ce Shadowburst is a standout choice.
