Tuned from B to B with octave strings adding an incredible chime and sparkle to the 3rd and 4thstrings, the ABT60CE-8 is truly a joy to explore. Delivered in a flawless Shadowburst finish with a cutaway to allow for optimum mobility across the fretboard, the ABT60CE-8SHB also features a fantastic electronics system, the LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pickup.
Let’s be honest, this Alvarez ABT60CE8SHB 8-string baritone acoustic blows away every player that tries it! It’s different, and yet just the same as what we already know and love. You don’t need to think or play differently, just strum it and be transported somewhere unexpected & amazing!
About Alvarez Artist Series
Alvarez multi-award winning Artist Series represents their commitment to both quality and design. This is what makes it one of the finest solid top guitar lines in the world today.
Each model is designed to get the best out of its components. They work together to produce balance, lively projection and great response. These components include Alvarez FS6 bracing design, which allows the soundbox to sing. This design brings uniformity across Dreadnought, Grand Auditorium, OM and Parlor body sizes. Thereby, the voicing has a similar character, but the individual tone is more purely influenced by the size and shape of the guitar.
Our bi-level bridge is designed to heighten string tension and improve sustain and response. Real bone nut and saddle, premium tonewoods, and our crafted attenuated finish all further the quality of construction and positively impact the performance of the instrument. Artist Series gloss models have a clear deep shine from a finish that is applied as thinly as possible to optimize tone. Accordingly, the personality and voicing of Artist Series is open, dynamic and instantly responsive.
