Alvarez AD66CESHB Artist 66 Series Shadowburst Dreadnought - Used
The Alvarez AD66CESHB is a standout member of the award-winning Artist 66 series, celebrated for its vintage aesthetic and deep, "dark" tonal profile. This acoustic-electric dreadnought features a solid African Mahogany top paired with mahogany back and sides. Unlike spruce-topped guitars that favor a bright chime, the all-mahogany construction of the AD66 provides a warm, compressed, and mid-focused sound that is perfect for blues, roots music, and vocal accompaniment.
This model is equipped with the LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element Pick Up, an electronics system that ensures your natural acoustic tone is captured accurately when plugged into a PA or acoustic amplifier. The "Shadowburst" finish offers a sophisticated, high-gloss look that complements the dark grains of the mahogany. With Alvarez’s bi-level bridge design, the string tension is increased, resulting in better sustain and a more resonant playing experience.
This guitar (Serial: **E21085133**) is in **Very Good Condition**. It has been well-cared for and shows only minimal small dents, dings, and light scratches consistent with regular, respectful play. The neck is straight, the frets have plenty of life left, and the electronics have been fully tested and are working perfectly. It has been professionally inspected and set up in our shop, ensuring it is ready to play the moment it arrives.
