All-solid construction with versatile, balanced tone for all players.
The Alvarez MF516 Folk OM Acoustic Guitar is designed to deliver exceptional performance through its all-solid wood construction and thoughtfully crafted bracing architecture. The solid Sapele top, back, and sides provide a clear, articulate sound with enhanced projection, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming, the MF516 offers a balanced response with crisp treble, rich mids, and a present bass. Finished in a flawless natural clear-coat, this guitar is both visually stunning and sonically impressive.
All-Solid Sapele for Clarity and Balance
The MF516 features all-solid Sapele construction, known for its ability to produce a well-balanced tone across the frequency spectrum. This tonewood combination brings clarity and openness to the mid and treble frequencies, while maintaining a clear and resonant bass. It's an ideal guitar for versatile players who demand an instrument that can handle multiple genres and playing techniques with ease.
Premium Components for Enhanced Playability
With a rosewood fingerboard and bi-level bridge, the MF516 offers excellent durability and sustain. The bone nut and saddle contribute to precise intonation and improved tone transfer, while the 1 3/4" nut width and shorter 630mm scale length provide a comfortable playing experience for intricate chord work and fingerstyle playing. The forward shifted scalloped bracing ensures improved resonance and projection.
Elegant Design With Tortoiseshell Binding
The natural finish and tortoiseshell binding give the MF516 a refined, vintage-inspired aesthetic. This attention to detail, combined with Alvarez's commitment to craftsmanship, makes this guitar as visually captivating as it is sonically versatile. Perfect for both stage and studio, the MF516 is a standout instrument for serious musicians.
