Nothing can really match a guitar made from all-solid wood. The deflection of the notes is quicker, the quality of the note is better and the sound of your guitar will improve as it ages.
Masterworks are great guitars, seriously powerful and responsive and now built with our FST2M bracing system, their sound is even more refined and articulate.
FSTM is a forward shifted X brace design. Both X braces and asymmetric tone bars are considerately scalloped to displace the vibrational energy and help create a strong and fluid tone and response.
The sound is warm, open and clear, and both the treble and bass registers are clearly present and balanced in relation to each other.
Balance across the strings is important to the professional artist and Masterworks achieves this while offering the dynamic range and volume needed to help optimize the relationship between the player and the instrument.
Beautifully voiced, professional guitars made from all-solid, seasoned tone wood.

All of our ALVAREZ MFA70C ANTHEM guitar comes with a 1 year local warranty.
We set-up all our acoustic guitars before they leave our store.
This basic but professional service covers several check points including string tuning, polish & clean, testing of electronics, joint checks and adjusting the instrument neck to an optimum distance between fretboard and string.
Our set-up warranty will cover the following areas up to a year from the date of purchase:
1. Any buzzing issues up to the 12th fret, which is where guitar action is generally measured.
2. Addressing and resetting any potential bridge uplift issues within reasonable tolerance.
3. Repair and/or replacement of any electronics arising from any manufacturing defect.
Do note that guitars are made of wood and wood is susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity. These factors may limit adjustment or reconditioning work. We recommend that you set-up your guitar annually to protect your investment.
