Now this is a guitar I could get to like, first time I've seen this model.
Beautiful tone/sound , fingerpicked and strummed.
12 freater and slotted headstock, who could resist.
I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't someone else in the Cabin, who wouldn't say no to one.

Faith Mercury, Parlour Guitar.
Tanglewood TW40 Sundance Historic, 12 freter. Solid Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides.
Takamine GY93E-Nat, Parlour Guitar, solid Spruce top.
Epiphone ES339, semi acoustic Electric guitar,
Fender Mex Stratocaster, White with Maple neck.

Love his perspectives. I love my Alvarez Masterworks. Their innovations have to be held and heard in person to be believed. I have yet to play my Masterworks somewhere, anywhere, without someone asking me about it and being struck by something about it.

It's not the only thing, but that dual-level bridge helps turn these things into such widely capable canons. Whether punching them for volume that will outclass almost anything else in the room, or looking for that articulation on the delicate stuff, Alvarez's top stuff never ceases to amaze me.

I don't agree with one thing he said though. I think he was a bit harsh on Taylor. I don't find Taylor "sterile" at all. They are amazing and very consistent, even in their variety, which is a strength, not a flaw. Taylors are amazing guitars and I wouldn't say no to one of them either.

TonyKgull,

So I'm assuming you like the guitar in the video.
The only thing I'm, personally not to keen on is the Price £3,200 If I remember correctly, but if you want something good, you have to pay the price.

LOL! I 100% agree! I'm never keen on expensive prices.

Some call me a cheapskate, I prefer the term "frugal."

I almost did spend close to 3 grand on a guitar once, many years ago. It was from Taylor and I thought it was worth it and was saving for it. It was my Alvarez Masterworks that sort of "saved" me from that.
