Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This guitar is awesome!
Pros: Great jumbo sound, very even mids, lows and highs. The guitar looks incredible with its flamed maple back and sides. Plugged to an amp, it sounds great, BUT it takes forever to "dial" in and get the sound you desire. The electronics and pre-amp are top quality, and Alvarez uses the same pre-amp on their $2000.00 guitars.
Negatives: I had to return the first one Amazon sent because of some issues in the paint and some dents to the finish. Also, the second one they sent was ok, except the preamp battery compartment was loosened and the 9 volt battery fell out and was loose in the body of the guitar throughout the whole shipping process, so that left some dents to the inside of the guitar, but so far, no damage to the outside of the body that I could see. Also, the pre-amp box was not screwed to the body in the right place, so there is a screw that holds one side down that isnt "anchored" to anything--it just stays in with gravity, so if you lean the guitar backwards, the screw falls out.
This guitar is discontinued, and the new models have Spalted Maple back and sides and costs 2-3 times as much as this one. Flamed maple is more expensive, and if you want the flamed maple back and sides, this is the one you have to get. If you can find one, BUY IT!
