Alvarez Review: RD8

Alvarez Acoustic Guitars



History:

Purchase: Purchased at local Retail Guitar Store for $199 w/Hardshell Case

What I Like About This Alvarez RD8: Plays great, Sounds Good, Price is very reasonable

What I Do NOT Like About The Alvarez RD8: Could have a little lower action, but what do you expect for a $200 guitar w/great case?

Alvarez RD8 Quality Rating: Not a solid top guitar so the sound could be a bit better. Have only had it for a week or so, can't comment on long term yet.



Review Summary: I originally purchased a low-end Fender acoustic package (DG8). Primarily because the salesman kept telling me how great the Fender was (it was a solid top). I played the Fender for a couple of days and returned it. I tried to like it, but just couldn't! Traded it for the Alvarez RD8 and have been loving it ever since!

Rating of this Alvarez product: 4
