Alvarez '66 models are finished with a deep, glass-like shine, and the thin Shadowburst gloss over African Mahogany brings out the full character of the grain for a warm, premium look that matches the tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMahogany-top guitars like this one have a responsive, focused voice with strong mids and exceptional clarity — a combination that sits beautifully in a mix and cuts through on stage. Paired with the compact Parlor body, you get a guitar that's easy to hold, easy to play, and surprisingly punchy for its size, making it a great choice for both recording and live work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Artist Series reflects Alvarez's commitment to meticulous design in bracing, voicing and overall construction. Every component — from the bi-level bridge to the solid bridge plates and neck blocks — is chosen to get the most out of solid-top construction, delivering impressive projection and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlvarez grades all of its solid tops in-house, independently of its suppliers: if a top isn't worthy, it isn't used. Woods are seasoned for months (or years, depending on the model) and then given an extra drying stage in thermo-kilns — a process Alvarez calls ATR, or Advanced Tonal Response. This oxygen-controlled vacuum curing removes more moisture, saps and sugars, making the wood more stable in dry or humid climates while adding the clarity, note separation, openness and volume you'd normally wait years for a new guitar to develop.\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: Parlor\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: Shadowburst\/Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Back \u0026amp; Sides Color: Natural\/Semi Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Neck: African Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Fingerboard: Indian Laurel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Headstock Facia: Indian Laurel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Bracing: FS6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Bridge: Bi-Level Indian Laurel\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• Tuners: Chrome Open Gear\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Strings: D'Addario XTAPB1253\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Neck Meets Body: 12th Fret\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Number of Frets: 18\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Overall Length: 985 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Body Width: 360 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Body Depth at Heel: 92 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Body Depth at Base: 106 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Scale Length: 610 mm (24 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# AP66_Shadowburst\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60520437874769,"sku":"107639","price":489.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/8936\/5585\/files\/img_4d0f4a65c6cd.png?v=1789077723","url":"https:\/\/www.musiciansbuy.com\/products\/alvarez-ap66-artist-parlor-acoustic-guitar-shadowburst","provider":"MusiciansBuy.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
