Alvarez ABT60CE Artist Series 8-string Baritone Acoustic-electric Guitar – Shadowburst

Description

An exciting alternate take on baritone acoustic-electric guitars, the Alvarez ABT60CE Artist series 8-string baritone acoustic-electric guitar retains a baritone’s hefty voice, but with two extra octave strings for a slight shimmer and added clarity. Pitch wise, the Alvarez ABT60CE between a dreadnought guitar and an acoustic bass. It’s the perfect tool for adding girth to tracks or exploring writing in lower registers. The ABT60CE features a baritone-style body topped with A+ Sitka spruce; the feel is similar to a jumbo acoustic with a tapered waist and mahogany back and sides for rich and clear focus. Players love how the ABT60CE captures certain aspects of a 12-string acoustic, but with an extremely playable feel that’s closer to a traditional 6-string. Player-friendly features include LR Baggs electronics for recording and gigs, chrome Alvarez tuning machines, a premium bone nut and saddle, spruce bracing, and a comfortable mahogany neck with a hybrid V to C shape for incredible playability up and down the neck.
