Vintage entry-level dreadnought, still plays great and sounds nice enough, made in Korea
Alvarez does have some top-notch acoustics floating around out there, but most of the ones I've played have been mid-level, at best. This one actually plays really fast, so it would be perfect for a beginner, but the adjustable saddle needs to be changed, because the action is actually way too low.
Some noticeable blemishes on this one, a deep scratch on the face of the guitar and some light ones along the neck joint, but it still plays fine. The tortoise shell pickguard looks nice from afar, but it's pretty dull and cheap up close. Nice dark mahogany finish on the sides and back classes it up a bit though.
Not a great guitar by any means, but still alot better than most of the Chinese no-name boxes that are out there today. If you're looking for a cheap acoustic and this is an option, it's a much better buy at $100-$150.
Thanks for looking, more high-resolution pictures here.
