Almost Perfect Alvarez MSD2C APA

THIS GUITAR IS AN "ALMOST PERFECT ALVAREZ" MSD2C (APA) - which means it is an MSD2C that has a ding or a scratch from the factory and couldn't be sold as NEW.  However, you can save money, and not worry about the first ding that you'll get anyway  :)  The lifetime warranty from Alvarez does not apply for APA guitars, but we'll work with you on obvious stuff.  

The MSD2C model Alvarez is basically the MSD1, with a cedar top instead of spruce.  The cedar is a fantastic wood for guitar tops because of its warmer, deeper sound.  Of course, this is a 3/4-size guitar, so it is not going to sound like a Martin D18, cedar or no cedar, but overall we feel like it has a very sweet sound that is very comparable with the best 3/4-size guitars. 

On the Alvarez Masterworks MSD2C, the solid Cedar top with scalloped bracing and solid mahogany back work together to get very large tone from a small dreadnought. Sharp looks come from an abalone rosette, rosewood fretboard, maple binding, and nickel tuners.

For those familiar with the Baby Taylor 3/4 guitar, the Alvarez MSD1 (Engelmann Spruce top) and MSD2C (Cedar top) are upgrades, in our opinion. The top on this model is a high quality tight-grained Cedar with a satin finish and solid Mahogany back and sides. One very nice feature (in comparison to the Baby Taylor) is the full traditional neck heel, vice the removable screw-down design of the Baby. Fretboard is purposely low-acoutrement, with a single abalone inlay at the 12th fret, and the soundhole is a distinguished abalone inlay as well. Nickel plated Grover-style tuners and a MOP Alvarez logo on the headstock. Craftsmanship for this guitar is as good as any 3/4 we know of, including high-end custom and individually luthier-built designs from major builders. Frets are dressed superbly, finish and glue joints are precise, action and intonation are right-on. We love this guitar and have already incorporated it into our own personal collection.

Hard-Shell Case Included

This is much too nice an instrument to drag around without some protection, so we've including a high-end SKB padded hard-shell case in the package!  This will guard your guitar against temperature, humidity, sunlight and things that would otherwise destroy it. 

SKB-300 Hard-Shell Case

Lifetime Guarantee on guitar and case. 

Also, when you purchase this item, you can choose to add a very nice padded gig bag for a big discount off the normal price!  Then you can have the convenience of the light gig bag when protection isn't a concern.
