"Try it you'll like it."
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.
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.
Features
NO
Ease of Use
Very playable.Sounds great for my style.
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

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.

Pick ups worked better than I hoped, tuners are solid
Ease of Use
Throw it up on your leg and jam!

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.
