My Alvarez Masterworks MD-70

A fantastic guitar for the money! I believe I paid about $700 and change,but you can now find these for considerably less online... Western cedar "solid" top,rosewood back and sides,abalone around sound hole,maple bindings,very warm sounding guitar,not bright(which is my personal preference)The neck is very easy to play also.Beware! The satin top scratches easily! Mine came with a gig case(soft shell case).It works for me,and it's kinda cool,has alot of pockets and a built in hydrometer to monitor moisture.I play this one regularly!  Great for strumming or fingerstyle also...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXbaJBPWiU4

*note: They don't sell this model with electronics,but you can have a nice sound-hole pickup installed or under the saddle transducer and/or a strap pin installed for playing while standing(I had both mods done) The pick-up I use on this guitar is an LR Baggs M1(I love it)
