What we say:
At A Glance:
There's not a lot of guitars out there like the Alvarez Artist Series ABT60CE-8BK 8 String Baritone. This guitar is built to be different, tuned low (B to B) with an extended scale length to suit and paired strings on the 3rd and 4th tuned an octave up (like those on a 12 string guitar). The result is an acoustic that growls low, chimes high and projects like nothing else.
The ABT60CE's unique sound is backed up with the superb LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element pickup, ensuring the big sound translates across perfectly in any performance, from the stage to the studio.
Features We Love:
Baritone Build
The ABT60CE-8BK is a baritone guitar, meaning it's built to be tuned a perfect 4th down, B to B, instead of standard E to E, with an extended scale length to accommodate the different string tension in such a tuning. The result is a uniquely lower pitched voice to the guitar, resonating at different frequencies from a standard, without being low end heavy and boomy. All your chord fingerings and patterns work the same, but the sound is something else.
Octave Strings
The 3rd and 4th strings on this guitar feature a paired string each tuned an octave up, like the lower strings on a traditional 12 string guitar. This results in a strong shimmer that really expands this lower-tuned instrument back up into the upper registers.
Quality Electronics
The ABT60CE-8BK comes rigged with the LR Baggs Element undersaddle pickup and StagePro EQ preamp, ensuring the voice and shimmer of this guitar perfectly translate across any performance, live or in the studio.
Highlights:
- Baritone scale length and tuning
- Paired octave strings on the 3rd and 4th add unique shimmer
- Superb LR Baggs electronics
