Built for flatpickers and strummers who want a full-bodied acoustic voice with easy amplified use, the Alvarez MD60E dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar pairs all-solid construction with Baggs VTC electronics. A solid AAA Sitka spruce top joins solid African mahogany back and sides to create a responsive foundation for driving rhythm parts, flatpicked runs and open-position chords. The full-size dreadnought body delivers the projection and low-end presence players expect from the format, while the gloss Vintage Sunburst finish, Indian rosewood appointments and included gig bag round out a practical stage- and session-ready package.
All-Solid Construction for Dreadnought Projection and Headroom
A full-size dreadnought body gives the MD60E the strong response and projection associated with larger acoustic guitars. Its all-solid construction helps the instrument respond clearly to changes in picking dynamics, whether you are playing single-note flatpicked passages or driving through broad rhythm chords. The result is a dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar with the presence and low-end foundation that suit assertive strumming, traditional flatpicking and singer-songwriter accompaniment.
Sitka Spruce and Mahogany Shape the Voice
The solid AAA Sitka spruce top gives the MD60E a clear, responsive foundation that brings out detail in single-note runs and open-position chords. Solid African mahogany back and sides add depth and warmth, balancing the spruce top’s articulation with a strong bass foundation and lively treble response. Together, these all-solid tonewoods create a balanced acoustic voice that remains responsive under the pick while delivering the body and projection players expect from a dreadnought.
Baggs VTC Electronics Extend Stage Versatility
Baggs VTC electronics add onboard amplified capability while keeping the instrument’s acoustic voice at the center of the design. The system gives players a direct way to connect to an acoustic amplifier, PA system or recording setup when more output is needed. For musicians who move between home practice, rehearsals, performance and recording, the MD60E combines a traditional all-solid dreadnought platform with the practical flexibility of built-in electronics.
Rosewood and Bone Details Complete the Build
An Indian rosewood fingerboard provides a traditional fretting surface, while the bi-level Indian rosewood bridge anchors the strings at the body. Bone is used for both the nut and saddle, creating consistent string-contact points across the setup. Premium MOP inlays add a refined visual detail, while the African mahogany neck, 25.5" scale length and 1-3/4" nut width provide familiar playing proportions. D’Addario XTAPB1253 strings come installed.
Vintage Sunburst Style With Gig Bag
Finished in gloss Vintage Sunburst and supplied with a gig bag, the MD60E is equipped for regular transport between home, rehearsal, recording and performance settings. Its all-solid tonewood construction, dreadnought body and Baggs VTC electronics provide a versatile foundation for players who need strong unplugged response and the option to amplify. The Alvarez MD60E dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar brings together traditional acoustic design and practical modern flexibility.
