Alvarez RD20SC Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar

A beginner's guitar does not necessarily have to sound or act like a beginner's guitar. In fact, many guitar manufacturers offer introductory instruments unworthy of even a student's hands. The Alvarez Regent guitar is designed to turn aspiring students into great guitarists. Including a full selection of styles, sizes and finishes, this series offers quality instruments for every developing player. Learn More...

NO

Quality:
this guitar seems so far to be holding up well so far My last guitar was a Carlos acoustic and it lasted for 27 years.I hope to have the same lasting relationship with my Alvarez.

Value:
for sure.

Desirability:
very good looking appealing guitar.

Sound:
A little buzzing from the frets but only if its tuned where the strings are not tight enough on tune.I tune to C so it works out fine for me.

Ease of Use:
Very playable.Sounds great for my style.

Support:
no service needed so fare.

Overall:
I hope to play this guitar for many years.Like wine the sound gets sweeter as time goes on.If its like my Carlos we will bond together in our music as one and play on for many more years.If it were lost or stolen I would replace it.The only thing I wish I knew before I bought it was how good it sounded and how good it played along the fret board.The playability is great.I tried many more expensive guitars which didn't play or sound as good.I have a good feeling for this one.

Feature:
Pick ups worked better than I hoped, tuners are solid

Quality:
I had a couple of minor scratches on the back so I was able to get a bit off the price, but other than that and some very minor fret buzzing....it is great looking from top to bottom.

Value:
PRice for performance, can't beat this one

Desirability:
Nothing fancy, just good at what it does.

Sound:
Thought I had made a good deal cost wise, but the more I played it the more I liked it especially compared to others in this range.

Ease of Use:
Throw it up on your leg and jam!

Support:
never had to...

Overall:
I expect to use htis for 8-10 years, probably hand off to my son at some point.
