Alvarez Guitars

Post by Atomic Jim »

As long as we're reviewing equipment, I was wondering if any of you have had any experiences with Alvarez Guitars. I played a PD80S last week and I thought it sounded an played very well. I played it head to head with an ovation Balladier Special and the Alvarez was superior in both action and tone - plugged and unplugged. I'm thinking of buyiing either the PD80S, or the FD60AMB - a thing body fusion guitar.

If any of you have had experience with these guitars, or own one, let me know what you think.

Thanks.

I have owned a 6 and 12 string. Still have the 12 string.
Loved them both and I have owned the 12 string for over
15 years.

I'm all for reviewing equipment, but I think those posts belong in "Tech Sector".

no more than a month ago i picked up an Alvarez AD60 SC. after narrowing the options, i decided with Alvarez because of there sound quality, playability, and design. if at all you do decide to buy one, make sure it has a satin finished neck. this makes for amazingly easy playability. ive only had it for a month so i can say much for durability. all i can say is if you decide to get one you wont be disapointed.

I handle Alverez's on a daily basis. They play real smooth, and eventually, I'd like to own one. I've heard them live, unplugged, and just plugged in and they always sound good to me.

But we have heard that you also handle yourself on a daily basis. :shock:
