I was somewhat undecided for awhile but the beauty of this guitar won me over, no where else can you find a solid wood guitar with all the features that this guitar has for $1000.00. This is the first I'd heard of a Alvarez Masterworks Elite, and I am glad I did. I played over 100 guitars while making my decision, my Alvarez sounds better than 99% of the Martins, Taylors, Epiphones, Gibson's, yes I played them all in this decision, and just as good as the other 1%, of course this is just my opinion, I have played guitar for nearly 50 years now, so I have heard a lot of guitars! This is my second Alvarez, and my second guitar purchase from zZounds, unless they come up with another amazing elite design my next purchase will be a Yairi. In my opinion you cant go wrong with this guitar, I purchased the OM model, Shimmering highs and warm bass, very articulate whether your strumming or finger picking, all in all an amazing guitar!
