thanks.. i would definitely buy a 12-string guitar and turn it into an 8-string whenever I want, a 6-string whenever I want, I think that makes the most sense.. ******
I was an early adopter of the 12CEBK and when I plugged her in and heard how shimmery she sounded with the L.R. Baggs pickup, I was blown away. I immediately bought the only one the store had. The only cons are the regular ones that EVERY 12 string ever made has. Thank you Alvarez!
Taylor made an 8 string that was set up like the Alvarez. I believe it came out of Taylor's custom shop. So I assume it was crazy expensive. So 3 months ago when I found out Alvarez made one I had to have one. I'm a little bummed that the Alvarez 8 only came in the one finish . I bought it anyways.. and I LOVE IT!!!.
@@kaushalsuvarna5156 why did such a thing happen, andwhat kind of problem can a 12-string guitar cause, other than hurting the finger, I honestly don't understand !.. can you explain how the problem happened.. thanks..
@@esinsonat675 ya it hurts the fingers n palm bones I got a thyroid condition (unrelated to guitar playing) which made me weak, so had to sell the guitar
Alvarez please can you make a left hand small bodied parlour/single O like the AP70 again, or the delta blues you currently have in right-hand only. Martin and Taylor offer all their ranges in left hand. Don't be like Gibson and Epiphone with just a few token offerings.
This is one of the problems Alvarez has always had. They put people that don't own 12 string guitars in charge of 12 string content! I bought my first Alvarez in 1965, never owned another. Bought a 12 string in 1966 and have owned one most of the time since then. Now have a 9 string as well as a twelve to compliment the 6 strings.
I love Alvarez. I have a K Yairi OM cedar/Rosewood from 1986, a new 8 string Baritone and a Delta 00 all are fantastic. I am selling my Guild F512 12 string. It is beautiful but difficult to play and surprisingly not that loud. I have been looking everywhere for an eighth string OM model. I can’t believe that Alvarez makes this. It sounds great and the neck is much More narrow than the 12 string. I love Alvarez. I wish I could buy it in red though or another finish. But I am happy with the shadow burst. Alvarez is the best deal there is an affordable Guitars. They sound many times better than Guitars five times the price.
That's great to hear, @Brock Starr Band, and thanks for the feedback. Happy to hear you found our 8-strings, hope you make some great memories and great music with them!
@@AlvarezGuitarsOfficial I have the new 8 string grand concert. Love it! Also D tunings sound huge. I am a Alvarez artist, I don’t need an endorsement, I endorse Alvarez.
thanks..

A friend of mine had a Yair 9-string with the top 3 strings doubled.
Love the 8’string tone and usability.
That's very cool. Thanks, Jeff. 👍

Super pleased to hear that! Thank you, David 👍
I would love to try out the 8 string guitar.
Hope you do, Peggy! They are so fun to play.
I've been with piano for a long time, so I really don't like going without extra strings.
A small bodied 12 string, 12th fret joint Alvarez. Just a suggestion. Think they'd sell like crazy
Great suggestion, Chris. Thank you!
@@AlvarezGuitarsOfficial so can I get a discount on the model if it gets made? 😜👍
Love my 8 string baritone 👌👍
We love them, too. Thanks, John 👍

8 string sounds too good. 🤘

I'd take one of each.
"Downsides of the 12-string? It hurts." 🤣🤣🤣
It does! 😂
From personal experience i can vouch it does
Had to sell mine because I got into a prolonged Thyroid disease

I want each.
We agree that they are all necessities.
I have six 12-Strings and 4 other are Alvarez guitars!
