Members citizens_X Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 I went to My local Music store and they had a used Alvarez Classic II for 100.00, I played it and everything seemed fine. It's made in Korea and Has a traditional strat style body with a humbucker in the bridge and 2 single coils. Are these guitars any good? How can I find out how old it is? the serial # is 602789 Maybe one of You can tell Me. It had a few nicks but nother major and the white pickups and pickguard have yellowed a little due to age.

Members GarysBlues Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 Never knew they made electrics? Acoustic Electric and Acoustic. I have a RD8 Acousyic I bought of there's on SALE for $150 with the OHSC. I'm really blown away by the guitar, It is an outstanding playing/sounding acoustic for the bucks. Its a Laminated Spruce top, but still, it sounds great now, I'm not worried about it sounding better as it age's! There's no review's on it here?

Members cadfael Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 does it look like a strat but with a larger top horn? And 3 on a side tuners? I have one and it ain't that bad, but it had some great pickups in it already( seymour duncans and a stock humbucker). Has no resale value but feels good and plays well.

This one has 6 tuners on one side but it is a strat copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daveski Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 I had a few Alvarez Electrics pass through my hands when I was dealing out of the house.I had 2 of those Classics, something that was more of 'shredder thing' with absolutely no hint of name or model number, 1 Dana scoop and 2 Dana II's. For $100, it is competitive with the other $100 stuff - Yamaha Pacifica's, Peavey Predators, Samick Malibu's, etc, etc. I think all of the above mentioned are a much better product than your typical Squier, which always seems to be what people want to compare to.
