Alvarez Artist Series AF66CESHB Shadowburst Folk/OM Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Alvarez Artist Series AF66CESHB Shadowburst Folk/OM Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Alvarez AF66CESHB pairs a solid African mahogany top with a comfortable Folk/OM cutaway body, delivering a warm, focused voice with strong mids and clear note definition. Its controlled overtones make it an appealing choice for recording, fingerstyle playing, and acoustic accompaniment.

African mahogany back and sides complement the solid top, while Alvarez’s FS6 forward-shifted bracing with tapered tone bars supports a responsive soundboard. The result is an expressive instrument that responds to light picking while retaining clarity during fuller chord work.

A thin Shadowburst gloss finish highlights the mahogany grain, giving the AF66CESHB a rich, vintage-inspired appearance. Ivory ABS binding frames the body, while a 12th-fret fingerboard inlay and premium die-cast tuners complete its understated styling.

The 24 13/16" scale length and 1¾" nut width offer a comfortable platform for chord voicings and detailed fingerpicking. A mahogany neck, bi-level Indian laurel/rosewood bridge, and real bone nut and saddle round out the construction, while the cutaway provides convenient access to the upper frets.

For amplified performance, the LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pickup provide onboard sound shaping, making the AF66CESHB a versatile companion for live work, songwriting, and recording.
