Learn to teach without a capo and do everyone a favor. Lol. Thanks though.

May I ask if there were any dead notes on your MD60BG when you bought it? I really am wanting to buy this guitar, but there are none that are being carried at any of my local guitar shops. Every single Alvarez that I have played that ARE offered in the stores here have dead notes. There is also a youtube short from a guy that shows his MD60BG with dead notes all over the fret board and he calls this guitar garbage out of the box. Thank you for posting this video...

Gorgeous! I would have liked to hear it strummed. I’m looking for something I can open tune and kind of play it hard. I have a ‘92 Taylor 812ce and a ‘96 (?) Martin DM-1 The Taylor Is so bright,and the Martin is kindOf deep. I have the opportunity to buy one of these, but I’m afraid it sounds too much like the Taylor.

Nice, sounds like a few bluegrass licks coming through

I just ordered me one it's got that twang to it

Yea bro I bought 10 pkg D'Addario BG strings, and they seem to die quickly, not break, but start sounding dull.

I own this exact model ofguitar. Same weird open top tuners and the black label. Mine says Republic of China made in Taiwan. I got one in 2020 online for $170 at auction and I am so glad I got it. It had old rusty strings. They sounded alright actualy, but I put on it Earthtones Rock and Blues Ernie Ball strings. They sound great. It just immediately impresses with its powerful resonating sound which none of my under $300 guitars have. Mine must have been used a lot as it has small wear and tear but everything very minor so the owner must have taken care of it. They are made in the early or mid 1970s. If you own one guitar like this I highly recommend some of the lower sounding open D tunings. Especially the one with CACGCE tuning (called Open C6 tuning). It is used in Led Zeppelin song Friends, for example. The lower strings make this guitar resonate so nicely.

I think they're very nicely made with a big deep sound- really impressive for an all-laminate guitar. I'd caution folks who are considering one to check out the action- if it needs a neck reset that's going to cost around $300- which is really about the upper end of what an FG-160 is worth in the first place.

Someone is selling one 1975 for 100$ I may jump on it.

Wow! Guitar sounds amazing and your chops sound even better! Blessings from Texas.

Beautiful instrument

Yeah man

i want to sell my yamaha fg830 to buy the guild om-120 is it worth it ? does it sound better than the yamaha ?

Thanks. I'm loving this,especially John dilleshaw and string marvel.1920 30s.

I bought one for 60 dollars.. I've been paying it for about 10 years, sill my main guitar.

Good review - actually, I think all the guild westerly '1' series all wood guitars sound really great, and nobody seems to know about them.

I just got the M - 120 and my opinion is that if you stumbled on one grab it!

So this Guild OM120 OR a Yamaha FS 850???? Yammy is 469 new this is 700 ??????? NEEDING a GOOD LIGHT smaller than a dread due to surgery on my right leg in a week or so and can't have an electric resting on it.....just started learning guitar about 6 months ago after playing bass for 30 yrs!!!!! PLEASE help an old bassist out!!!!

Definitivamente... me tengo que comprar esa guild

Hey there rick....good

Beautiful I had one loved it

Good video, and information. Mr Emanuel, we're very proud of him another true blue, l new Phil his brother. Thanks for the video.

Hi. Would you recommend this over the Taylor 100 series??

Good guitars s6 is the flagship series. I have the Maritime model. I love it

My great uncle was a great player and just all around guy. He left this Yamaha FG 160. Not sure of age. To my grandmother. She passed a year ago. I just pulled it out. Going to learn to play. Any suggestions

Awesome demo. I’m in search for one of these on the used market. Enjoying the channel

I bought mine new for £55 in 1974 in Birmingham UK….it’s been played every day and for the last 19 years has been with me up a Spanish mountain…..a great guitar which has given me years of enjoyment. Money well spent 👍🍷

I like elixers too. D'Addario supplies elixer with the wires and elixer coats them

I have the tan color Fg 160 Yamaha it was made back in 1973. My old guitar has a great rich deep sound but,, I’m only can play it for 20 minutes for it burns my fingers and I have been playing my Gibson J45. For the last 21 years. The point I’m making is the Yamaha FG 160 probably needs some adjustment Because I really would like to play it longer than 20 minutes out with the band

Excelent! Some tabs? Thanks

Thanks for the review. Just what I was looking for. What was that second song you were playing after Layla? Or was that improvised

My all original 1974 FG-160 with tan label says Nippon Gakki, Hamamatsu, Japan and uncommon 5 digit serial number. Has good full bass and plenty of mids. Needed no repairs when I got it recently. I had to choose between this FG-160 Jumbo for less than $200 from a private seller and 1970 FG-110 OM style priced at $795 from a dealer.

Just bought one of these $429.00 . Your right! Guild has wired these little monsters right another the bracing has been scalloped enough and placed in the right places . Just wondering what kind strings have founded that sound the best . It’s sounds great with these super old strings that were on it . Try Ed a lot of guilds and didn’t like most of them . This one definitely a keeper til the next diamond catches my ear. Hey man thanks a lot for your most helpful reviews.

I have this same guitar, FG-160-1 black label, made in Taiwan and it sounds just like yours! Thanks for the review

Great review man ! You got to be from Texas . Thinking about buying one of these. Found a used one at a good price. Hey man is this guitar still blow your socks off or is the honey moon over. That’s usually my problem after about a month or so my ears start saying just ok. Tell me what you think now about this guild if you still have. Thanks Jeff Clark from Rockdale Texas

I've just taken a chance and bought one blind on Ebay for £60-If it sounds anything like yours I'll be delighted.

What’s wrong with D’Addario?

Can't wait to get mine should arrive in a couple days. Great demo man. It will be a great companion with my Blueridge br280.

Great video and very nice sound demo. Below are all the specs on this guitar, straight from Alvarez: And I have made a couple videos on this guitar too and can very highly recommend it. The materials used are AAA solid Sitka Spruce top and solid African Mahogany back and sides, with a mahogany neck. The MD70BG has solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides. The bridge and fret board are made from Indian Laurel (for the newer guitars and rosewood for older builds {mine is about 5 years old and has rosewood}). Also has a bone saddle and nut. The neck to body joint is a dovetail joint with wood glue and not epoxy. I had a few comments on my video trying to say they use epoxy to glue the guitar together. No, they use wood glue throughout it's construction. And this information came straight from Alvarez, as I contacted them for clarity on this. To me, this guitar sounds more like a Gibson J45 than a Martin D-18. I'm not sure why but it does, at least to my ears. But that's not a bad thing. To me, this guitar sounds like a guitar you would spend triple for, or more. So if you are looking for a quality, all solid wood guitar, and can't afford a Gibson, Martin or Taylor, you need to check this brand out. Recording King is another great guitar if you want the Martin sound. I also have one of these (Recording King RD-328 solid Adirondack Spruce top {that's over 40 years old before it was used to build the guitar} and solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides). Just be aware that Alvarez makes cheaper guitars, around the $200.00 to $400.00 range, that are not all solid wood. These guitars still sound good, they just don't sound like an all solid wood guitar does. Sorry for the long comment. I think you did a phenomenal job of showing this guitar off and giving a high quality sound demo.

Just got one handed down to me. Didnt think much of it till I started playing it. Real joy to play. Great for just picking up and playing in the living room.

Just picked one up for $250, little bit of marks but think I got a good deal for a 50 yr old guitar!

It sounds wonderful. I'm about to buy one.

I bought a 1973 FG-160 tan label last year from a local seller to restore and resell. After I cleaned it and had it set up, I decided to keep it. I fell in love with the sound so much that I didn’t want to part with it. It has such a unique tone and resonates like crazy. By the serial number, it’ll turn 50 years old next week and it still looks and plays fantastic. Glad I found it. It’s a keeper for sure.

Awesome picking, keep the videos coming

Elixir, and you have a great channel.

Laminated mahogany back and sides though. Not solid wood. 👍

I just bought a Fg-130, made in 1972. Its amazing!

Very nice tone overall, strong bass also. Nice presentation!

Man I absolutely love the way you play!

Great playing! They are awesome guitars, also Cole Clark if you get a chance to try them also from Australia just like me!
