Alvarez AD60 Herringbone: Big Dreadnought Power, Dressed to Impress
If you want that classic dreadnought punch for bold strumming, confident flatpicking, and full-bodied singer-songwriter tone, the Alvarez Artist Series AD60 Herringbone delivers in a way that feels inspiring from the first chord. With a solid A+ Sitka spruce top and African mahogany back and sides, this guitar is built to project clearly, respond quickly, and keep your tone balanced whether you're playing softly or digging in.
Features that matter (and why you'll feel them)
- Solid A+ Sitka spruce top for lively attack, open projection, and strong note definition
- African mahogany back and sides to add warmth, punch, and a focused low end
- FS6 forward-shifted bracing to help the top move efficiently for bigger volume and quick response
- Bone nut and saddle for crisp articulation and improved sustain
- Comfortable 1 3/4-inch nut and 25.5-inch scale for a familiar feel that supports clean fretting and dynamic picking
- Herringbone purfling and abalone/ABS rosette for a premium, traditional look onstage or in the studio
- Thin gloss top with semi-gloss back and sides for a classy finish that keeps the soundbox feeling responsive
Why players choose the AD60 Herringbone
The dreadnought body is all about presence: strong bass, a wide dynamic range, and enough headroom to keep your sound clear when you play hard. Alvarez pairs that traditional power with a build that responds quickly, so your notes pop with definition and your chords stay musical and balanced. It is a do-it-all acoustic that feels equally at home backing vocals, driving a bluegrass rhythm, or filling a room with rich, open strums.
Built for real-world playing
Whether you are writing at home, rehearsing with a band, or playing out, the AD60 Herringbone gives you the feel and tone that makes you want to keep playing. The solid top helps the guitar open up over time, while the spruce-and-mahogany recipe keeps your sound punchy, warm, and dependable across styles.
