I have one owned since new. Great to play plugged or unplugged. Quality instrument and beautiful too. A keeper.

I agree with the previous commentary, this guitar I think was made to be played Plugged-in, it is well constructed with a rich sound, I own one that I bought in 1994 and the sound I think changed for the better, the neck is straight as a arrow, the strings are still very close to the finger board making it easy to play. A GREAT GUITAR period.

Long story short, I love this guitar! I've played nearly twenty years, and I only play it plugged-in. It has a rich, full sound through my Roland amp, and blows me away how it sounds like a fine classical sounds on recorded albums, as though it were a concert instrument being mic-ed in a large auditorium. I use it annually to back up a soloist for a big event, and always get lots of positive compliments on how the guitar sounds afterward. I think this guitar was made by a company owned by Alvarez a few companies ago, so its hard to find it out there, or if you call Alvarez, they don't remember it or know much about it. But I'm so glad I get to play one!
