Do not buy an Alvarez guitar
I just bought a brand new Alvarez AG60CE back in January, through Guitar Center. The electronics were completely shot and didn't work. When I contacted them, they told me that since I didn't buy their warranty for this brand new guitar, to basically "Go pound Sand", and that I had to go to the only Alvarez distributor in the country, in St. Louis to have it fixed The problem is, Alvarez is a shitty Guitar, banking on big names like LR Baggs to sell their garbage. The L.R. Baggs electronics were completely shot on this guitar... Even the tuner didn't work. They said they would fix it for me, but I had to pay the $160.01 to ship it to them, first. That's right. Alvarez built me a defective guitar, then made me pay an additional 40% of the price of the guitar to fix their own mistake. If anyone really wants an Alvarez guitar, I highly recommend buying a used one. I wonder how long L.R. Baggs is willing to take a hit in allowing the Alvarez brand to cost them money before pulling out themselves.
