I purchased this to use as a back-up on stage, and I'm very glad I did. It has pretty good tone for an axe in this price range. It looks great, too! Right out of the box, it had great action and a nice set-up. I recommend it.

I ordered the black version and the finsh is just stunning. Neck is thin and the action is low but not low enough for fret buzz. Just enough to make bending easy as pie. The 600T MK preamp system is awesome. I play straight into the P.A. without a D.I. box and the sound is still amazing. I use it a few times a week gigging at bars and it has never failed me. This is the 2nd Alvarez I own and even my cheap RD8 sounds great. Alvarez has wonderful quality for the money and I highly recommend this guitar to all musicians for any style.

I don't own this guitar, but the pastor at my church does. I have used it a couple of times to jam a little bit, and he is currently letting me borrow it to replace my mitchell. This is a great guitar. His has a crack in it but hes also had it for a while. It's nothing like a Taylor, but for the price it is awesome.

Remember, no to guitars sound the same. So know the chance your taking ordering it online.

I have had this guitar for one month, I own a Martin GT16 and a Tacoma DM9 and paid more for them than this guitar.This guitar has great action, great acoustic sound without plugging in. It has a great pickup system that played through a PA system has good tone and resonance. I love my Martin and Tacoma but this one has a great feel. Though not as woody as the Martin and Tacoma. When you plug it in to a acoustic amp it is great sounding . It is designed to plug in and sound ood. The guitar is a gem for the money. It is a good quality instrument that you will love to play. It sounds good without plugging in and has great ring to it even though it is not a Martin or Tacoma it sounds good and has good sustain. Not like the Martin or the Tacoma but good a good ringing full sounding sustain. It does not sound cheap in anyway.Looks good too!!! buy ya one.....!! Can't go Wrong...for the money well spent.

This guitar ROCKS!!! The Sound and Quality are amazing...along with the fact that it comes WITH a built-in tuner, and some effects. Works Great for ALL styles of music, regardless if you're playing a show or with friends around a fire....This is the Guitar of Choice. Recommended!!! :-D
