Crafted from all-solid mahogany
The term “laureate” signifies a significant achievement, success, or insight — a title earned with years of mature ingenuity. The LT66e Daybreak Laureate Series acoustic guitar’s sophisticated design embodies that laureate spirit with premium solid tonewoods enhanced with decades of Alvarez expertise. Tonewoods were sourced from fanciful locales to ensure beauty and performance. Utilized for the instrument’s top, back, and sides, solid African mahogany creates a warm, rounded tone with plenty of balance and articulation. The result is a time-tested playing foundation that’s perfect for multiple genres and play styles. Moreover, the LT66e Daybreak’s sound chamber is braced with forward-shifted spruce, a modern update to a classic bracing that gives the LT66e Daybreak incredible volume potential without compromising note definition. The Alvarez Laureate is sure to bring a new level of sophistication to the music you make!
Hardware details that make a difference
The LT66e Daybreak Laureate Series guitar spares no detail, even when it comes to the small things. A plethora of premium hardware ensures this guitar is both beautiful and rugged, so you can rely on it for years to come. A true bone nut and saddle maximize the vibrational transfer from the strings to the body, ensuring you get the purest tone possible. The bridge is made from ebony, which also enhances vibrational transfer. The headstock features tuning machines with an upgraded high-performance 20:1 gear ratio for precise results that hold tunings accurately and for longer.
LR Baggs HiFi amplification
The LR Baggs HiFi system is everything players want in an acoustic-electric pickup: balanced sound, noninvasive design, and an impressive resistance to feedback. The system is beyond reliable and offers over 700 hours of use on a single 9-volt battery. Consisting of a HiFi preamp, two bridge plate sensors, a discrete end pin jack, and Volume and Tone controls, the HiFi’s magic lies in how the system preserves acoustic integrity. The bridge plate sensors use materials and placement that listen to acoustic movement and tonewoods without dampening natural resonance. These sensors are guests of the sound chamber, not intruders, and what you hear is your guitar’s inherent sound and nothing more.
