Folks in the know will be aware of Alvarez as a brand that provides uncompromising, premium level quality at an affordable price, and the RF-26 is no exception. The finishing is top notch, have not had any issues with the fretboard/neck. The wood and construction feels excellent. The sound is as expected from a folk/OM body guitar: clarity in the mids & treble which lends itself to triad-based playing and string picking rather than the strummy style of a dreadnought, although it does that very well also.
Big props to Bajaao for the pre-shipping checks and setup, have not felt the need to do any major adjustments to the neck/bridge in almost a year.
