Comment by Chris on March 6, 2013 at 8:53pm I've never owned an Alvarez before but an entertaining the idea of getting an Alvarez AP710. Anyone have any words of wisdom? Pro/cons?
Excuse the intrusion... I've found what looks like a great deal on a Alvarez AD90SCK Artist Series guitar. Was wondering if any of you current Alvarez folks care to comment on that model. For $375 appears to be a good deal, but I don't know much about them. I'm looking for an alternative to using my HD-28 for stage work. Any info will be appreciated.

Comment by Don Bartenstein on July 29, 2012 at 7:56am Yes, I did install the I-Beam. Loving it! Everywhere I play out, other players comment on the fine tone of the 5022/Baggs combo.
Comment by cameron on July 29, 2012 at 7:37am I still Play out some not as much as i use to. the nine string is really at its best in singer songwriter / acoustic solo setting. I use the D I with all my guitars as it gives more control over the sound im looking for. 5 yaris thats cool, i have 2 alvarez the old 6 string I have is the guitar I started on over 30 years ago it still plays very good my 10 year old grandson is learning on it now. i have a couple of martins and some others older kay, harmony, silvertone, an old harmony hollywood archtop that was my grandfathers that i hasve no idea how old it is.
Comment by Alfred Tirella on July 29, 2012 at 7:25am I was watching a 9 string Yairi on ebay a year or so ago. Looked like an interesting guitar. Over the years I've acquired 5 assorted Yairi including 1 Sadao classical. All very nice guitars.
I have the Baggs Para acoustic DI as well but haven't used it much as I'm not a professional musician but play every day at home and occasionally sit in with my girl who does play out a bit.
Comment by cameron on July 29, 2012 at 7:16am Alfred the nine string is a very low action easy play, alittle more effort on barre chords . like a 12 string, the neck is a little thicker. It has factory electronics and i have no idea what they are no preamp or controls I use an L R baggs Para Acoustic D I with it. the model # is 5058 early 80s as best i can tell. Ive only seen one other 9 string back in the 80s and a few on e bay
Comment by cameron on July 29, 2012 at 7:05am Don did you install the I beam in the 5022???
