Deep Alvarez Tone with Spectacular Shine
A truly unique guitar demands thoughtful engineering and precision construction. By its looks alone, the AG66CE Artist 66 Grand Auditorium clearly checks the boxes with an incredible collection of mahogany tonewoods. A gentle bass tone matches perfectly with a crisp midrange to high-end output that only a marriage of quality materials can accomplish. When it comes to projecting sound, LR Baggs Element EQ pickups team up with this acoustic’s innovative FS6 forward-shifted bracing system, providing a well-rounded output that’s fit for any stage or studio. Alvarez’ Artist series of guitars provides high-quality instruments that are made to perform, and as Sweetwater guitarists have found, the AG66CE Artist 66 is no exception.

Deep mahogany tone
Boasting an African mahogany top, as well as a mahogany back and sides, the AG66CE generates a deep projective tone with clear midrange. An instant response comes in handy when working with rich bass accents, creating a warm, full-bodied glow. When paired with the guitar’s Grand Auditorium body shape, you’ll find a unique guitar tone with an extremely clear mid-end output, layered on top of a thick, mellow bass. What's more, this Artist 66 features the state-of-the-art FS6 forward-shifted bracing system. This system allows the Grand Auditorium to reduce weight while bolstering voicing to harmonious effect, unifying the company’s midsize guitars with a common sonorous character while retaining the room to tailor tones to each specific shape and player.
LR Baggs EQ-adjustable pickup
Leveraging a flexible film sensor, the LR Baggs Element under-saddle pickup creates a highly sought-after quack-free experience. Instead of responding to individual string attack, the Element measures the movement of the soundboard on an ultra-sensitive level, highlighting the true voice of your guitar. A simple build means that this pickup won’t interfere with your natural sound, either. You’ll also have an easy-to-use StagePro EQ system that lets you adjust the ends and tones you produce, giving you further versatility with your instrument.
