About the Alvarez AD66CE SHADOWBURST Artist Series Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Shadowburst:
 
Our Artist Series Dreadnoughts are crafted to achieve outstanding levels of fit, finish, and tonal ability. They are powerful, articulate and voiced to get the best from the Dreadnought body mass through our FS6, forward-shifted, scalloped bracing system. Sonically, they have a broad projection with clear, sonorous bass frequencies and lively trebles.
The Artist Series AD66ce is a powerful, responsive mahogany top guitar with a focused voice, strong mids and exceptional clarity, finished with a deep glass-like shine. Our thin Shadowburst gloss on Mahogany brings out the full aesthetic of the wood to create a warm, premium vibe to match its tone. This guitar performs wonderfully for recording and live work.
This cutaway model allows for easy access up the neck and is fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze. The StagePro Bronze is a small-footprint side-mounted EQ incorporating the renowned LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup. This is a low-profile unit with a large backlit tuner, volume, bass and treble controls and phase. The battery box is built into the end pin jack compartment for easy access with a simple push to open and change batteries.
