The Alvarez AB60CE Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar is a medium-scale acoustic bass from the multi-award-winning Artist Series. It is specifically engineered to provide a powerful, articulate, and sonorous low-end punch that allows bassists to be clearly heard in acoustic jam sessions and unplugged ensembles without breaking the bank.
The Alvarez AB60CE Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar delivers a huge, resonant low-end tone with effortless playability at a competitive price.
Core Tonewoods & Construction
Top Wood: Solid A+ North American Sitka Spruce. Hand-selected from quarter-sawn wood, the solid top is cut slightly thinner to vibrate more freely, maximizing projection and tone richness.
Back & Sides Wood: African Mahogany. This laminate construction features a unique mahogany core layer to deliver a dry, focused midrange and an airy depth.
Bracing System: FST2 Forward-Shifted, Scalloped X bracing. By shifting the X-brace axis closer to the soundhole, the guitar utilizes a larger soundboard surface area to generate substantial air volume and balance out the treble and bass registers.
Bridge Design: Alvarez Bi-Level Indian Laurel/Rosewood bridge. This signature staggered bridge structure drastically increases the string break angle over the saddle, embedding more string tension, improving response, and maximizing energy transfer to the top.
Dimensions & Playability
Scale Length:32 inches (813 mm). This comfortable medium-scale length yields the perfect balance between loose, playable string tension and rich, deep acoustic bass frequencies.
Nut Width: 1 11/16 inches (43 mm) with a genuine bone nut and saddle for enhanced resonance and tuning stability.
Body Shape: Traditional acoustic bass body with an integrated cutaway for convenient upper-fret access up to the 20th fret.
Premium Onboard Electronics
For live performances or recording, the bass features the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze side-mounted preamp system paired with an under-saddle LR Baggs Element pickup. This low-profile unit captures authentic wood movement and soundboard vibration directly. It also includes:
A clean, backlit chromatic digital tuner.
