Alvarez 8-string Baritone ABT60CE-8SHB first impression 

I bought the same guitar last fall and I still love playing it like the day I bought it home.

the stairs can wait my friend. you play beautifully.

After getting a return authorised for this, DPD failed to collect, and I changed my mind despite having bought a Guild which sounds very different. I have decided to work on the peculiar string space and modify the nut, bridge and saddle as needed to fixed the issues which a) made it sound great b) made it really hard to pick the strings accurately. It sounds sufficiently different from the Guild to be a different instrument. And that's me with TWO more guitars when I needed to disposed of some instead.

Please see the follow up RU-vid which explains why have returned this guitar, despite liking it in so many ways, and bought Guild's 8-string baritone instead. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wdo2dLSdSrI.html
