Amazing! Right out of the box ! Perfectly set up...great set of D'Addarrio strings... L.R. Baggs system sound sweet...the Walnut really gives this it's own special sound... somewhere in-between Mahogany and Rosewood...nice mellower tone...back off , she's mine !! Get your own !! Cheers Alvarez , thank you for a fine instrument !!

I purchased this Avarez model with walnut back and sides from zZounds and was surprised by how fast they got it here. Unfortunately, the one I received had a "sunken top" due to low humidity during shipping and storage. This left a hump where the neck joined the body and no amount of truss rod adjustment could remove the fret buzz that was on every string past the 7th fret. The only solution to keep it would have been to raise the action...but who wants to do that? So i sent it back. I got a replacement with no issues and found this to be a great guitar with a different tone than any other acoustic I've played. It has a wide body depth at the lower bout and this gives the guitar lots of bass response. Treble response is good as well and from a tone description, it's fairly close to what you would get with a solid koa top with lots of mid range. Finger picking sounds good from this guitar as does flat picking, but you can't drive this quite as hard as a spruce top guitar. that said, it has good volume projection either way. The neck feels good, fret dressing is good and the electronics are good as well. I like the GA size too.She's a keeper and a looker too. I can recommend this guitar. Finding a case might be tough due to the wide depth but I'm sure there's one out there.
