Hehehe I never noticed that before. I've got another photo of me like that, but I'll post it in the picture thread because it doesn't involve my guitar

I enjoy this moderately priced guitar. Got it used for $265.00 a couple years ago, hardcase included.

I'm honestly not sure what kind of Alvarez this is, my guess is that it's a PD80S-12. This is my father's guitar and became my baby once I started playing. I just love the sound of a 12 String, and plus this is very old so its very brassy. I hope to get a guitar of my own soon, and it will definately be an Alvarez.

beauty 12 string! i used to have an alvarez 12 string that i bought used but some drunken idiot stepped on it and broke the neck
![]() heres me when i was 12 or 13 with my first baby. an alvarez ![]() ![]() before most of you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye ![]() i tried to pass it down to my daughter and she lost interest. then i gave it to my son but he really wants an electric and an amp... the finish on it has aged to a beautiful golden color and it sounds better than ever. i might take it back for myself to play.. i kinda miss him i had a Washburn dreadnaught for awhile but it was too big. i like the smaller body styles too. i traded that in for a washburn oscar schmidt series electric-acoustic and i really like it but i don't have an amp or much of a reason to plug in. |

It does sound beautiful, and thats very sad about your 12 string.
An electric and an amp? Nothing beats the beauty of an acoustic guitar. |

Lot's of lucky peeps here. i play a Martin-Style Kiso Suzuki F10, it's a japanese guitar. But the internet has no information on it, it plays relatively well, and i inheretted it from my pap. It could possibly be quite rare

I use a Martin D-35 tuned 1/2 step low with Deadario Medium Phosphur Strings. Not the extended play either, they're too "tin-ee"
When I'm doing more "Picking" of notes up and down I use an Ibanez SG-10 Stephan Grossman. It's a concert box and so the mid-range is traded for sharper highs and lows. Pick???? What's a pick? Peace & Love P.S. If you getting a nicer guitar (Martins, Taylors, etc.) There sound gets better with age and the wood matures. It's the neatest dam thing. _____________________________________________ "Not everthing that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted" Albert Einstein |

I totally agree with Corey. I suppose I did, but did not mean to, infer that only Taylors and Martins improve with age. By including them, I guess I was (in a way) excluding others. My bad.
You are also correct about the low end Martins. They have this "wood-like" set of guitars out there running $500 - $700 that a friend of mine purchased and the sound board warped and raised the bridge about a quarter of an inch. I like my Martin though. Sorry if I was sounding too much like a homie. ![]() Rocky says high. ____________________________________________ Descartes says "Cognito ergo sum"....

Can all you guitar experts please give me some advice. I would like to start playing again (did a little in the past) and need to get an acoustic guitar (it would help).
Can anyone recommend a suitable make and should I go for a new one or try and pick up a second hand one. What are the things I should look out for to give me some idea whether it is good or not. I don't want to spend a fortune at this early stage....say around £100 for a second hand one. Any advise or comments would be very gratefully received.
