AlvarezAF60 Herringbone Folk/OM Acoustic Guitar - Natural

With a solid A Sitka spruce top, African mahogany laminate back and sides, and a Folk/OM body, the Alvarez AF60 Herringbone folk/OM acoustic guitar brings Artist Series craftsmanship to a responsive, versatile acoustic platform. Its thin gloss top and semi-gloss back and sides complement the guitar’s traditional Herringbone styling, while Indian laurel appointments and bone string-contact points complete the build. Designed to respond clearly to changes in playing touch, the AF60 Herringbone gives players a balanced acoustic instrument for a wide range of musical settings, from focused practice and songwriting to accompanying vocals and playing with others. Folk/OM Body Supports Responsive Acoustic Playing The AF60 Herringbone is built around a Folk/OM acoustic body shape that keeps the focus on balanced response and player connection. Its compact, traditional profile gives the guitar a distinct visual and physical identity within the Artist Series, while Herringbone details add a classic acoustic look. Rather than leaning on a heavily ornamented presentation, the design centers on the fundamentals: a responsive soundbox, familiar proportions and practical appointments for regular playing. Solid Sitka Spruce Top Drives Response A solid A Sitka spruce top provides the responsive soundboard at the center of the instrument. Its thin gloss finish gives the top a lustrous appearance while allowing the soundbox to vibrate and respond to changes in picking and strumming touch. Whether playing single-note passages, open chords or more detailed accompaniment parts, the spruce top helps the guitar deliver clear acoustic response without losing the traditional character of the Folk/OM format. Mahogany Laminate Back and Sides Complete Construction African mahogany laminate back and sides form the body behind the solid spruce top, creating a practical tonewood combination for this Artist Series acoustic guitar. The semi-gloss finish on the back and sides complements the thin gloss top, giving the instrument a cohesive appearance while supporting the soundbox’s responsive design. Together, the materials and finish choices give the AF60 Herringbone a traditional acoustic foundation shaped for a range of playing styles. Traditional Finishes and Herringbone Styling The thin gloss top and semi-gloss back and sides give the AF60 Herringbone a balanced visual presentation, while its Herringbone styling adds a classic acoustic detail. These elements work with the Folk/OM body shape to establish a design that feels rooted in familiar acoustic-guitar tradition. The result is an instrument that presents cleanly onstage, at home or in a lesson setting without distracting from the essential construction and playing features. Indian Laurel Touchpoints and Bone Hardware An African mahogany neck, 25.5" scale length and 1-3/4" nut width provide familiar acoustic playing proportions. The Indian laurel fingerboard and bi-level Indian laurel bridge offer traditional touchpoints, while MOP and acrylic inlays add visual detail. Bone is used for both the nut and saddle, and D’Addario XTAPB1253 strings come installed. The Alvarez AF60 Herringbone folk/OM acoustic guitar brings solid-top construction, traditional styling and Artist Series details together in a responsive acoustic design.
