As I have said, there is nothing better in this price range. Nothing. Don't you even try to find better. Yeah, that means you.

Sound
With Elixir strings, this guitar is by far the best sounding in this price range, and beyond! I have played this guitar, and then and went and picked up another (I believe it was retailed at $465) and I could not even compare the two. The Alvarez beat out the other guitar instantly!

Features
Amazing case, the best tuner in a package ever, marvelous picks, and free Elixirs! The only thing that sort of got me was that the strap had no connector on the end, so you might have to buy it separately, but that was not enough to get me down! The thing that truly amazed me was the case. It must be silk or some like material as it is so soft and beautiful!

Ease of Use
It's a guitar... not that hard to play. Not the best choice for a beginners guitar, as it does require some skill, but if you are learned in guitar methodoligy, then this is definitely worth at least trying at your local music store.

Quality
As I said before, all items in this package are top notch for this price range, and even a little beyond!

Value
If you buy this package, you are making a great investment as this guitar is the absolute best that money can buy in this range ($100-$500). Alvarez skimps on nothing, not even the… read more strings!

Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed it, but I heard that Alvarez has a good CS team from a friend.

The Wow Factor
A smexxy beast... always drives the girls crazy to see a guy hunched over an acoustic plucking out some random song.
