Part of Alvarez’s respected Masterworks Series, this model offers boutique-level construction and tonewoods at a fraction of the price of many comparable guitars.
Finished in a striking Shadowburst gloss, the solid African mahogany top is framed with hand-crafted Paua abalone purfling, giving the guitar a refined, almost custom-shop appearance. It’s a visually stunning instrument, but more importantly it delivers a warm, articulate tone with excellent balance across the strings.

Design & Build Quality The Masterworks series is built with Alvarez’s FS6 forward-shifted bracing system, which allows the soundboard to vibrate more freely for greater projection, responsiveness, and tonal balance.
Combined with the all-solid mahogany construction, this gives the guitar a tone that is: - Warm and open - Balanced across bass and treble - Highly responsive to both fingerstyle and strumming
Like all solid-wood guitars, its tone will continue to open up and improve with age.
