Alvarez AP66e Acoustic-electric Guitar - Shadowburst

The Alvarez AP66e Acoustic-electric Guitar - Shadowburst is a high-value, sweet-singing acoustic that’s entry-level in price only! Like all of Alvarez’s Artist series, the Artist 66 gifts players comfortable playing with stylish looks that keep your guitar journey engaging and fun. This Artist 66E features a slim parlor body that’s perfect for fingerstyle, folk, or simply taking with you for playing on the go. This guitar may be small, but it’s incredibly articulate thanks to a top, back, and sides crafted from rich African mahogany that delivers focused tone and limitless warmth. Players love the Artist 66E’s sound, but especially appreciate its comfortable feel and durable hardware. Player-friendly features include Alvarez tuning machines, a premium bone nut and saddle, onboard electronics, and a comfortable mahogany neck with a hybrid “V” to “C” shape for incredible playability up and down the neck.

Crafted from mighty mahogany

The Alvarez Artist 66E proves a parlor guitar doesn’t have to sound puny. The mahogany top, back, and sides yield distinct, slightly vintage tone with a tight focus, pronounced midrange, and balanced treble and bass. Cuts are selected for quality, then seasoned to perfection for a premium vibe that’s made to last. To enhance its tone, the Artist 66E Parlor’s sound chamber also features additional spruce bracing. The bracing is designed to bolster the guitar’s projection, shaping lows, mids, and highs until they sing in sweet unison. With tonewoods like these, you’ll be ready to practice, perform, and play with confidence that your instrument is cheering you on, never holding you back.

Comfortable design from the neck down

The Artist 66E Parlor is comfortable from the neck down with design features that ensure comfortable performance from start to finish. Great tonewoods mean little if they aren’t comfortable, and that’s why the Artist 66E Parlor features a premium neck crafted from mahogany. Not only is mahogany a favored tonewood in the acoustic world, but this neck is also further enhanced with a hybrid soft “V” to “C” shape. Alvarez carefully developed this blended neck profile that gives you ideal anchor space in any position. Toward the headstock, the “V” shape yields a better grip for 6-string open and barre chords; further up, the “C” shape gives hands more room for expression and thinking outside the box.

Hardware details that make a difference

This guitar spares no detail even when it comes to the small things. A plethora of premium onboard hardware ensures this guitar is both beautiful and rugged so you can rely on it for years to come. A true bone nut and saddle maximize the vibrational transfer from strings to body and ensure you’re getting the purest tone possible out of the 66E's body and top.
