Understated cosmetics make for a striking aesthetic, enhanced by Alvarez's standard-width bevel armrest made from Ebony — a detail that takes the pressure off your forearm during longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the flawless gloss finish, the FS6 forward-shifted bracing pattern opens up a larger soundboard area to heighten vibration. Pair that with a high-quality solid African Mahogany top and premium components throughout, and the result is an engaging, responsive playing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cutaway body makes it easy to get up the neck, and the guitar comes fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze. It's a small-footprint, side-mounted EQ built around the renowned LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup, with a large backlit tuner plus volume, bass, treble and phase controls. The battery box is built into the end pin jack compartment, so a simple push pops it open for quick battery changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlvarez grades every solid top independently of its suppliers — if it isn't worthy, it isn't used. After months of seasoning, the wood goes through an extra drying stage in thermo-kilns, a torrefaction process Alvarez calls ATR (Advanced Tonal Response). Oxygen-controlled vacuum curing removes more moisture, saps and sugars, making the wood more stable in dry or humid climates while delivering clearer note separation, quicker response and a more open, mature voice from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:1.5em;\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Shape: Dreadnought\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Top Wood: Solid African Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Back and Sides Wood: African Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Top Color: Natural\/Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Back \u0026amp; Sides Color: Natural\/Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Armrest: Ebony Bevel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Headstock Facia: East Indian Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Neck: African Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Fingerboard: East Indian Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Bridge: Bi-Level Indian Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Bridge Pins: PPS Synthetic Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Nut and Saddle: Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Inlays: MOP \u0026amp; Acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Bracing: FS6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Pickup\/EQ: LR Baggs StagePro Bronze\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Tuners: Chrome Closed Gears\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Strings: D'Addario XTAPB1253\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Neck Meets Body: 14th Fret\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Number of Frets: 21\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Overall Length: 1042 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Body Width: 395 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Body Depth at Heel: 100 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Body Depth at Base: 122 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Scale Length: 648 mm (25 1\/2 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Nut Width: 44.45 mm (1 3\/4 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Case or gig bag sold separately\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModel# AED66CE_Armrest\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60520449933393,"sku":"109283","price":779.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/8936\/5585\/files\/img_af2a01b4141a.png?v=1789077922","url":"https:\/\/www.musiciansbuy.com\/products\/alvarez-aed66ce-armrest-artist-elite-dreadnought-acoustic-electric-cutaway-guitar","provider":"MusiciansBuy.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
