"A guitar with an amazing sound."
The tree of life is a symbol that last forever. I will keep it as long as I live and give it to my children for their inheritance.
Sound
I am 54 years of age, and I have been playing the guitar since I was 12 years old. I have own several guitars all through out the years and got rid of the guitars that I did not like. I kept a few good ones. I kept two Alvarez' guitars. One Indian Rosewood Yairi and one PD 100S. Although my Yairi is almost 3x more expensive than my PD 100S,I like the sound of my PD 100S beter. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate the sound of my Yairi 8 and 9 on my PD 100S.
I gave my Yairi to my 21 year old son on his 18th birthday. My 17 year old son told me that his birthday is coming and he said that he really like the sound of my PD 100S Alvarez. You know what that means.
For the sound quality of the PD 100S, I do not mind getting another one for my son's 18th birthday next month.
