Alvarez MD510SHB Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Shadowburst

The Alvarez MD510SHB dreadnought acoustic guitar delivers a bold, dynamic tone ideal for any singer-songwriter. Constructed with all-solid wood, this instrument resonates with impressive projection and clarity. The solid Sitka spruce top and solid sapele back and sides produce a balanced sound across the tonal spectrum.

Resonant All-Solid Wood Construction

The MD510SHB acoustic guitar is built to perform, with all-solid wood construction that enhances resonance and sustain. The solid Sitka spruce top vibrates freely, projecting your playing with articulate highs and open mids. Solid sapele back and sides provide warmth and depth, supporting the spruce top with a robust low end. This blend of tonewoods gives the 510 a dynamic voice ready to handle any musical style.

Premium Appointments for a Quality Feel

From the shadowburst gloss finish to the rosewood fingerboard, the Alvarez MD510SHB is appointed with premium components. The rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface, while the bone nut and saddle enhance tone and tuning stability. A bi-level rosewood bridge provides ideal string spacing for complex chords and single-note runs. These high-quality parts come together for a guitar that looks, plays and sounds like a professional instrument.

Scalloped Bracing for Power and Nuance

The Alvarez acoustic guitar MD510SHB features forward-shifted scalloped bracing, a construction technique that allows the top to vibrate freely. Scalloped bracing carves out portions of the inner bracing, reducing mass and stiff spots. The result is a top that pumps out volume when you dig in, but also responds sensitively to subtle fingerpicking or strumming. This combination of power and nuance gives the MD510SHB a dynamic range suited to many playing techniques.
