The AG60CE 8-string alleviates this issue by adding two extra strings: a standard G and D (3rd and 4th). This upgrade allows for the same classic, jangly tone without the need for a wider neck. The addition of a grand auditorium body-style upgrades this output to an even wider tone, providing you with a faithful emulation of high-end 12-string accents that’s surprisingly easy to play.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 EQ system that lets you adjust the ends and tones you produce, giving you further versatility with your instrument. Moreover, this AG60CE 8-string features Alvarez's state-of-the-art FS6 forward-shifted bracing system. This allows the instrument 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.Alvarez: catered to creatives Sported onstage by the likes of guitar legends Bob Weir, Joe Bonamassa, and Richard Fortus, Alvarez designs its guitars to meet the creative needs of players everywhere.
