The Alvarez LF60e is an all-solid, vintage-inspired Folk/OM (Orchestra Model) acoustic-electric guitar from Alvarez's high-tier Laureate Series. Engineered with a "bench-made" approach, it balances the focus and articulate clarity of an OM body with premium, hand-selected materials.
Key Specifications & Build
Body Shape: Folk / OM (Orchestra Model). This body size provides a highly focused, balanced midrange and exceptional note-to-note separation, making it an absolute favorite for fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters.
Top Wood: Solid AAA North American Sitka Spruce. Hand-selected and sanded slightly thinner to optimize vibration, responsiveness, and dynamic power.
Back & Sides Wood: Solid African Mahogany. This introduces a traditional woody warmth, crisp mid-range punch, and a rounded tonal character that beautifully pairs with the spruce top.
Bracing System: Hand-finished FS6 Forward-Shifted bracing. Cut from quartersawn Sitka spruce and meticulously hand-sanded to achieve maximum volume and resonance without sacrificing structural integrity or note definition.
Neck Profile: African Mahogany neck with a comfortable profile that meets the body at the 14th fret, sporting a generous 1.75-inch (44.45 mm) bone nut for comfortable spacing.
Bridge & Fingerboard: Cut from premium African Ebony. Moving away from Alvarez’s signature Bi-Level bridge design, the Laureate series features a traditional full single-level ebony bridge to honor classic acoustic guitar styling from the late 1900s to the 1930s.
Visual Elegance & Hardware
Premium Appointments: Decorated with rare Blue Abalone rosettes and fingerboard inlays (including a striking 12th-fret inlay) contrasted against Ivoroid body binding.
Tuning Machines: High-performance open-gear tuners with an ultra-precise 20:1 gear ratio for exceptional tuning stability and a classic look.
Nut & Saddle: Genuine bone hardware to maximize vibrational transfer from the strings to the top.
Premium Live Electronics
For plugging into an amp or PA system, the LF60e comes factory-equipped with the LR Baggs HiFi system. Rather than an invasive under-saddle design, the HiFi setup utilizes dual bridge plate transducers that sit inside the guitar. This captures the true acoustic soundboard movement and wood resonance without dampening the guitar’s natural acoustic output. Soundhole-mounted Volume and Tone controls keep the guitar's vintage aesthetic completely intact.
