[woofwoofwoofie]

I have this exact guitar. (in sunburst) All I can say is if you are considering buying one, DO IT! Mine sounds and plays wonderful, and holds a tune for ever and ever and ever......

[BJ1047]

Please! Demo an RF250SM (now the 300) I want an all mahogany guitar and need to see and hear a demo... thanks!

[cliffsasexybeast]

i have one of these. its the best guitar ive ever had. it holds a tune really good so that keeps me from having to tune it a lot.

[fernhollow1928]

@cliffsasexybeast I agree on all points . I have one also and the natural sustain (without electric) is amazing.

[HiredGunzz]

Hey I've got a question for yall. I've been playing electrics and acoustics for about 2 years now. I have a few fine electric guitars, but my acoustic is a lower grade Samick with low action. I've got a really good deal on a AA RD20SC for a hundred bucks. Its used and sounds great, but looks like the bridge is pulling up the body a bit. I wouldn't even have noticed until the guy said something about it. I'd really like to go for it but not sure what the long term effects would be. Any help guys?

[diveplane]

that is a nice sounding guitar

[dsvogel420]

I love Alverez acoustics! I own a alverez Rd series, very full tone and great sustain! For the price im satisfied for sure! Action could be better! Nothing a little professional adjustment cant fix tho!

[ntrnate]

i have a alverez i got out of the trash because it had crack in it butt i cleaned it up and is awsome it also has i retactible

action and i believe its a1972 model

[readyjojoy]

I just got mine today and i have to say that this Guitar rocks. I ordered it online and was worried after seeing this demo but I have to say that it is a Gem. It is incredibly bright and has a lot of sustain. I don't think you can beat the price for this quality.

[dohnis]

did you lose a lot of weight?

[70selvisfan]

I have an Alvarez acoustic as well. My favorite strings are either Martins or D'addarios. Both have great sound and don't cost an arm and a leg. The Elixir strings that come on them might be fine to some, but I prefer the ones mentioned earlier.

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

what d'addario strings do u use?

[70selvisfan]

Medium EXP 17's .13-.56

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

exp acoustic?

[70selvisfan]

Yes, they're acoustic strings

[dsvogel420]

Have you put light gauge strings on before?

[70selvisfan]

I've used Martin SP light gauge strings a few times, very good strings. If you were going to go with a light gauge string, those are the ones I'd suggest. The best bet is to use several kinds and make your own choice. I haven't been playing regularly for very long, I just like the D'addario EXP17 mediums quite a bit.

[dsvogel420]

I didnt kno if it would buzz with light gauge?? Thnx for the reply tho!

[70selvisfan]

I don't recall any buzzing, but each guitar is different. I'm sure if it does, it can be fixed. These are fine guitars.

[benTheyoungster]

i got this its a noce guitar

[YODANIELROMANO]

whats the difference between a Dreadnought and a non Dreadnought acoustic guitar?????

[guitarinsteve]

dreadnoughts are like 'standard' shape guitars you can also get 'Folk' shapes which have a rounder base (Or as some of my friends say 'a fatter ass') the folk guitars have a smaller length than dreadnoughts as well

Hope that helps!

[guitarslim56]

Shape.

[MRUfootball16]

hey i have that exact guitar, its in my hands rite now lol, what kindof strings are those?

[flipboifine]

awesome guitar .. ive had mine for a few years now. I use it mostly for shows and recording .. cuz i love how it feels and the wonderful sound it produces. Otherwise, it stays in the case .. lol!

[demented20]

I just bought the sunburst version of this guitar and I love it.

[whosjonkopp]

anyone know where to get the tab for what he's playin?

[BassSurfer2]

its all improvised.. these arent real songs... why do so many people ask this question? have you ever improvised your own work?

[shizzle412]

hes trying to kill that guitar!

he is like bashing the strings

he should have showed what it sounds like fingerpicked and stuff.

[BassSurfer2]

thatsh is style, and most comfortable way of playing.. what the fuck is so wrong about that?

[rokr432]

besides, this particular guitar has a solid sitka spruce top. If you don't know about different varieties, sitka responds better when played hard than most top woods. It wouldn't sound as good fingerpicked. If you want to fingerpick, look at a folk alvarez with rosewood or a Silver Creek guitar.

[JunkBondTrader007]

actually, i own this guitar, and it sounds quite nice fingerpicked =)
