IF, and IF, you can get in on the Alvarez deal, do it. The yammies are nice, but not in the same league as the all solid wood Alvarez's. IOW, you're buying into a much higer price point or league of git. Good luck.
Yeah, for that price, it's a great deal. However, they are still out of stock. I don't know why, are they being discontinued?
Also, is the only difference between the MD60 and M80 the cedar top vs spruce top, respectively? What's the difference in terms of tone, resonance, etc between the two?
