YES. Alvarez. Amazing guitar for very cheap price.
I'll Back You Up on that! Alvarez guitars sound simply amazing! I have a RD-8 ($280) and I've never had any complaints about it.

Alvarez's are some of the best and some of the worst guitars. You have to play them beofre you buy them.

Like an alvarez can be better then a lot of low end Taylors/Martins. They can also be hella crappy.

Just jam on them for a bit, fall in love with one of them, buy it

Congrats on paraphrasing a previous post.

I suggest not buying a Big Baby. Yes it is a Taylor and all but it has laminate back sides and for the price I think you can get a better guitar. For what it's worth all guitars need to be kept in an environment where the humidity can be monitored and regulated otherwise you are gonna have some problems.
