Alvarez ABT60 Baritone Guitar

An affordable acoustic six-string baritone from Alvarez.

Alvarez Guitars was one of the first companies to offer an acoustic baritone guitar, introducing the YB1 in the mid-1990s. Today, baritones are not uncommon, but Alvarez’s ABT60 remains an impressive instrument at an affordable price. The guitar has a jumbo body, built with a solid spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides. It has a 27¾-inch scale length, which allows for a low baritone tuning (B to B) using heavy strings.
