About Alvarez MDR70ESB

Over the years, the 12th fret Dreadnought has garnered a loyal following among guitar enthusiasts, and the Masterworks Series MDR70ESB is a testament to this legacy. Crafted with precision, this acoustic-electric guitar boasts a bridge strategically positioned at the heart of the soundboard, which many believe contributes to its rich, resonant sound quality. The ergonomic placement of the fretting hand enhances playability, while the optimized string tension ensures a comfortable playing experience.

The MDR70ESB is renowned for its exceptionally round and full tone, characterized by deep, clear bass frequencies and sparkling treble notes. Its responsiveness is immediate, producing notes that are distinct and robust. The innovative FS6 bracing system, coupled with the AAA Sitka spruce top, works in harmony to deliver a sound that is clear and well-defined, with each strum revealing the clarity, separation, and balance that is so sought after by discerning musicians.

This instrument's aesthetic is as impressive as its acoustics, featuring a high gloss thin poly finish that not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to its sonic performance. The traditional design elements, such as the slotted headstock, open gear tuners, and a pre-war style sunburst, evoke a sense of classic craftsmanship while offering modern reliability.

Projection and tonal breadth are standout features of the MDR70ESB, with an open voicing that fills the room and captivates the audience. The guitar's powerful presence is difficult to overlook, making it a favorite for players who appreciate the unique qualities of a 12th fret Dreadnought.

Equipped with the acclaimed LR Baggs Element-VTC pickup and a user-friendly soundhole console, the MDR70ESB ensures that its amplified sound is as natural and authentic as its acoustic tones. This advanced pickup system captures the true essence of the guitar's voice, making it an ideal choice for both live performances and studio recordings.

In summary, the Masterworks Series MDR70ESB 12th Fret Dreadnought Acoustic Electric Guitar is a finely-tuned instrument that resonates with quality and tradition. Its combination of superior sound, playability, and classic aesthetics makes it a standout choice for guitarists seeking a professional-grade guitar with a timeless appeal.
