Quick question folks. I am not up on new guitars at all. A local guy has an Alvarez AD80SSB, wants 250 for it. I am looking for a good starter guitar for my middle daughter she is 25 and now finally wants to start learning again. She can play (not great but is serious this time)and asked me about the brand. I guess the guitar is 2 years old and perfect shape. I know nothing about them. The web is all over the place with them and mostly music stores selling. The real scoop comes from you folks 250 a fair price?

Thanks
Dan

Not an Alvarez model I've tried so no direct experience.

The Harmony Central reviews here seem to suggest that the price is reasonable and give some players' comments.

It's a dread, right? I would make sure the player likes the size before buying. Some folks find them a little large.

Peace, Mooh.

I thought Pounds Sterling would be a bit rich - Dollars sounds OK , but as Mooh says , a Dreadnought COULD be a bit large for a lady !

Excellent point, she is a little girl, maybe a bit large for her.

I love my Alvarez and find it easy to. Play and it has an orgasmic tone.
