Alvarez AP66e Shadowburst

The Alvarez AP66e Shadowburst stands out as a high-performing parlor acoustic-electric that punched well above its weight class.

Key Highlights & Special Features

• All-Mahogany Construction & Solid Top: Built with a solid African Mahogany top paired with mahogany back and sides. Unlike spruce-topped parlor guitars that can sound thin or bright, the solid mahogany construction delivers a warm, focused, and punchy midrange response with rich sustain.
• 12th-Fret Parlor Design: Joining the neck to the body at the 12th fret places the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout. This structural geometry gives the small body surprising projection, low-end warmth, and a very comfortable string tension for fingerstyle or blues.
• FS6 Forward-Shifted Bracing: Features Alvarez's custom bracing design that maximizes energy transfer from the solid top, offering balanced response and far more volume than typical parlor-sized guitars.
• Stage-Ready Electronics: Loaded with an LR Baggs StagePro Bronze system with an under-saddle Element pickup and a side-mounted EQ, complete with a built-in tuner and phase controls for plugged-in clarity.
• Shadowburst Finish & Vintage Aesthetics: Finished in a rich, glass-like Shadowburst gloss that showcases the mahogany wood grain, paired with traditional open-gear tuning machines, real bone nut and saddle, and Alvarez's signature bi-level bridge.
