AD610EFM Limited Edition Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Alvarez Artist Series AD610EFM is an exclusive model designed to demonstrate the high quality Alvarez is able to deliver at such value. Cosmetically, this guitar is incredibly rich with a flawless gloss finish that shows the flamed mahogany back and sides beautifully. The top is AA North American solid Sitka spruce and is married to Alvarez’s awesome forward shifted, scalloped bracing system.

The body is bound in maple and other premium components are used throughout, including real bone nut and saddle, mother-of-pearl and abalone inlays and premium tuners. This model is also fitted with the SYS100 undersaddle active pickup with a discreet system that houses the preamp in the pickup jack and tone and volume controls in a small soundhole console.

Each Artist Series model, like the AD610EFM, is designed to get the best out if its components, and for them to work together to produce balance, lively projection and great response. These components include our FST2 bracing system, bi-level rosewood bridge, real bone nut and saddle, great quality tone woods and thin finish.

FST2 is a forward shifted X brace design, this means the axis of the X is closer to the sound hole and therefore creates a larger soundboard area allowing for more energy and vibration to be harnessed. Both the X braces and asymmetric tone bars are carefully scalloped. The scalloping design was the result of years of continual development in their Yairi workshops.

Along with a more angled headstock, our bi-level bridge increases string tension by making the break angel of the strings from the saddle to the top more acute. Improved string tension adds to our sound, feel and response, which are also heightened by the use of real bone nuts and saddles.
