Achieve Ideal Balance and Articulation With the OM Body
With the Alvarez MF60E Herringbone, you'll experience near perfect balance and note separation thanks to its expertly designed OM body shape. The smaller body provides focused compression, while the X-bracing allows the top to vibrate freely. This combination gives you clear articulation and even response across all six strings. The notes ring true with a musical sweetness, decaying cleanly. Chords have impressive definition, with each string speaking independently. Whether you prefer fingerstyle playing or strumming, the MF60E's balance helps bring out nuanced voicings.
Lightweight X-Brace Opens Up the Projection
To keep the MF60E's tight OM response while allowing more projection, Alvarez engineered the X-brace to be lightweight. This allows the spruce top to vibrate effortlessly, putting out lively, shimmering overtones with each strum. There's added punch in the midrange, giving your playing a pleasing presence when accompanying vocals. The lightweight bracing also aids in playability, with a comfortable action that doesn't fatigue your hands. Notes and chords ring out with sustain, filling the room. When playing solo, you'll appreciate how the open-sounding X-braced top complements the focused balance of the OM body.
