Alvarez RF8 Folk Acoustic Guitar (with Case)

Feature:
Comes with hard solid feeling hard case and Elixir strings. Same tuners as my dreadnaught Regent.

Quality:
Plenty of laquer, but all is well. No chips, dings, scratches, bubbles.

Value:
A nice little axe in a hard case. Fun to play and pleasant sounding.

Desirability:
This guitar will travel, be used for writing and practice, and go to informal performances.

Sound:
Very pleasing. Not twangy or uncontrolled, but mellow and in tune up and down the frets. Bass is a muted, but this may be characteristic of all smaller guitars.

Ease of Use:
This guitar can be played and played! Maybe the Elixir strings have something to do with it, but the action seems very good right out og the box. A quality control slip seems to indicate that the set up was checked at the factory, although the strings are shipped slack.

Support:
No experience.

Overall:
Should last for years and will be used a lot. I would replace if stolen, although I will be looking at higher end folk size instruments now that I have gotten this one.
