A beginner's guitar does not necessarily have to sound or act like a beginner's guitar. In fact, many guitar manufacturers offer introductory instruments unworthy of even a student's hands. The Alvarez Regent guitar is designed to turn aspiring students into great guitarists. Including a full selection of styles, sizes and finishes, this series offers quality instruments for every developing player.

Feature:
Comes with hard solid feeling hard case and Elixir strings. Same tuners as my dreadnaught Regent.
Quality:
Plenty of laquer, but all is well. No chips, dings, scratches, bubbles.
Value:
A nice little axe in a hard case. Fun to play and pleasant sounding.
Desirability:
This guitar will travel, be used for writing and practice, and go to informal performances.
Sound:
Very pleasing. Not twangy or uncontrolled, but mellow and in tune up and down the frets. Bass is a muted, but this may be characteristic of all smaller guitars.
Ease of Use:
This guitar can be played and played! Maybe the Elixir strings have something to do with it, but the action seems very good right out og the box. A quality control slip seems to indicate that the set up was checked at the factory, although the strings are shipped slack.
Support:
No experience.
Overall:
Should last for years and will be used a lot. I would replace if stolen, although I will be looking at higher end folk size instruments now that I have gotten this one.
