For the money this guitar outplays guitars that cost 150% more. One note for those considering this guitar...It has SOLID Rosewood back AND sides. There is no laminate anywhere on this guitar and the setup from the factory is superb. I recomend replacing the plastic bridge pins with solid ebony, you can here the difference but for the monet this guitar just can't be beat. It is an Acoustic players dream. Action was PERFECT right out of the box and you can play all the way up this neck and barre chords play like a dream. Honestly, in my 40 years of guitar playing I have never gotten a better guitar for twice what I played for this. Every string is clean and clear and the notes and chords play evenly all the way up and down the neck. BUY THIS GUITAR! You will not be dissapointed...It's a steal for the money and you could spen 3 times what this cost and not come close on sound or playability. It's a homerun!!!

Would have liked a case but for the price I am absolutely delighted.All of the appointments (like the abolone rosette are beautifully done and the Folk size is just right for hours of comfortably playing

Plays like a dream up and all the way down the neck. Fingerpicking is a dream and barre chords are a breeze anywhere on this guitar

Built like a rock. Alvarez has a name for it's durrability and quality and this guitar is bo exception. I ws absolutely amazed how light it was

You couls spen well over 3 times what this costs and get much less of a guitar. The sound, action and playability are all amazing

I have owned many Alvarez in my 40 years of playing guitar and they are one of the best when it comes to customer satisfaction!

Gorgeous guitar inside and out, inside is flawless with no glue drips and everything sanded perfectly. Set up was superperb and the sound is absolutely top notch. The overall look of the guitar is stunning!
