"Alvarez RD8 acoustic guitar"
I purchased this guitar from a local music store 2 years ago. Since that time I have grown to love it more every time I play it.
It has beautiful tone and excellent craftsmanship for a guitar of this price. I have played more expensive guitars but I always pick this one up when I want to play.
I highly recommend this product for any level of player..

"Alvarez RD8"
The hardware is fine. Tuners are good, can be setup quite nicely. Bass is quite underwhelming considering the dreadnought shape. That was a little disappointing. At least its relatively cheap
