"Huge tone, small price"

This guitar plays unbelievably well for the $300 price tag. Years ago I had a much more expensive, higher end Alvarez that I absolutely loved and I can barely tell a difference between the two. Lets not leave out the electronics, the built in chromatic tuner is great and not your typical cheap built in tuner with 3 little lightbulbs on it. It's very accurate and has a very bright and visible screen. The solid top provides a very rich tone and the action is great straight out of the box. Any beginner, intermediate, expert, hobby, and professional guitar player will appreciate this guitars bang for its buck. 10/10 would recommend to anybody in need of an acoustic guitar but does not have $800+ to fork over for one right now.

"Ad30ce"

Very nice looking guitar. Not to shiny which is nice. Stays in tune better than my Martin. Now with that said., the set up was horrible. Nut to high in my opinion. Strings way to high for my preference. And wires were just hanging there in the middle of the sound hole. I expected better than that from Alvarez. But with all that fixed and a string change to Martin retro. It really sings.

Upon receiving my guitar I noticed the packaging was excellent and easy to open. The guitar arrived in perfect condition. I immediately used the built in tuner to tune it up and start playing. Plays like a dream and sounds awesome. Just the quality I expected from Alvarez. Always wanted one and now that I have one I am not disappointed. Thank zZounds.com!
Sound
Sounds bright and full. I recorded direct with the onboard electronics and with a microphone
Features
I was pleased to see the built in tuner. It made it easy to tune right up!
Ease of Use
I get great sounds out of mine by both strumming and finger picking ! The volume is loud enough to fingerpick softly and still get volume
Quality
This guitar is very beautiful and well made. The finish looks like it will last the life of the instrument
Value
Value is amazing. I would expect this instrument to be in the $600-$800 price range from it's sound and playability.

This is an awesome addition to my home studio. Records beautifully with mic or onboard electronics
