Description

The AG60-8CESHB Artist Grand Auditorium from Alvarez is an 8-string acoustic with a 12-string acoustic sound without the challenges of playing a 12-string. The AG60-8CESHB has less string tension and a standard width neck and nut as opposed to the wider neck found on 12-string guitars, making it easier to play for newer guitarists. A beautiful looking guitar with a flawless deep shine, the AG 8-string has superbly open, resonant voicing and features a North American Sitka spruce top and fitted with the fantastic L.R. Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pickup.

  • Impressive 12-String Sound - Plays Like 6 String

    This Alvarez is a dream to play. If you didn't know better you would 🤔 you were playing a 6-string, but getting some of that dreamy, chorus sound from a 12-string. It just works. The L.R. Baggs preamp sounds amazing. I now see what people are talking about. Overall, a superb guitar for the price.

    Beautiful tone. Well made with quality components, but heavy. Narrow neck nut width and string spacing is a problem for fingerpicking; though would be an advantage for someone used to electric guitar or who mostly strums. I find the modestly thick neck depth very comfortable; someone who plays mostly electric guitar might not. I do prefer the nut width and string spacing of my 40+ year old Alvarez-Yairi DY58.

    What is the blemish on this guitar?

    I’m sorry, we don’t know what the blemish is. The blemishes will be perhaps minor scratches, average handling wear. There will be no effect on playability or sound. This is in Mint Condition..

    I purchased this guitar a while back and I am enjoying it very much. I am having trouble finding compatible string sets for it though. What strings do you recommend and where can I get them?

    Interesting guitar. In the description it reads: Country of origin is United States. Is that a misprint? Thanks AC
