Alvarez AJ60SC

Unread post by Elliottman » Fri Oct 28, 2005 10:29 am

Ok where do i start.

After Christmas, it's new guitar time - with out a shadow. Im gonna be spending about £300 -£350, think that $600-700?

Checkii has suggested the Alvarez AJ60SC. When i looked it up, i fell instantly in love with it, without even playing it. It just looks amazing. But like i say i or Checkii havent played it so really have no-idea how it sounds, although i have read really good reviews about it.

I cant buy this guitar in England, and the cheapest place ive found it is ebay.

So what i wanted to know is, do any of you guys have one or played one? And obviously how does it sound? Is it worth the trouble of getting imported with even hearing how it sounds?

Any comments at all will be helpful. Thanks

Oh, heres the link to one im looking at ...

We've talked through PM a bunch about this guitar.

Only thing I can add is that I bought my AD60SC without ever hearign or playign one, and I am not dissapointed in the least. I love it and dont think there's a better $330 gutiar out there.

If anyone lives near an alvarez dealer could you give it a strum and see how it goes?


also, what effect on the sound will this guitar have with the maple back and sides?


god it is sexy!!!!

great guitar, but that price is waaaay too high. ive seen the 12 string version of that for 5 and the 6 just a bit under that. so 5 for one off ebay is a bit high.

There's a place that sells a few alvarez's around my area, it's where I bought mine. I don't think they had the AJ60SC, but I can double check. I'll let you know.

the last model ones are such a damn good price, and i like the look of the bridge so much more.
