The Alvarez Masterworks MDA66CE Dreadnought in Shadowburst is a bold, all-solid acoustic-electric built for players who demand rich tone, dynamic response and genuine stage presence. A solid African mahogany top, back and sides deliver warm, full-bodied tone with focused midrange and clear projection, while the Shadowburst gloss finish highlights the timber's natural grain and hand-crafted Paua abalone purfling and acacia binding add real visual elegance.

Equipped with the LR Baggs Element pickup and StagePro EQ, the MDA66CE gives consistent, high-quality sound for live performance and recording alike. FS6 forward-shifted bracing enhances resonance and sustain, and premium appointments like a real bone nut and saddle, ebony bridge pins and gold die-cast tuners with ebony buttons round out an instrument that's ideal for discerning acoustic musicians who want power without sacrificing refinement.
