Talking Guitar, Alvarez MD60BG

[@TheMidnightModder]

I love hearing a style other than bluegrass on this guitar. You're a great player and I thank you for this!

[@lucascruzguitar]

I appreciate the compliment, I’m not much of a player I just like guitars! Thanks for watching

[@rubbadubdub6543]

@@lucascruzguitar Your playing is excellent, appreciate your modesty!

[@brettkramer]

That's some fine picking Sir !!

[@danielshipe3451]

Just bought one as per JP Cormier's review. Wow, I have a D 18, and a D 28,and i am truly impressed for the price.

[@justinthyme2666]

I was considering one on his review as well. Went with another that he gushed over, Yamaha LL16. Both I believe are great guitars though.

[@ektalon1]

I enjoy your playing and your brevity. Refreshing really. The MD60BG sounds great, too!

[@lucascruzguitar]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the compliment 👍

Amazing guitar + Amazing Talent!!!!!

[@Southernguitar74]

I’ve owned my MD60bg for 3 years. It’s a great guitar. Good playing!

[@lg63610]

Great playing. Love to hear it. Like this guitar too.

[@sixstring001]

I played this guitar in a music store today and really like it. May have to go back. Great picking sir!

[@grinningfool34]

I bought one about a year ago. Great guitar for a moderate price.

[@jeahvel]

Been missing you Delvin. Glad to see you making a new video!

[@garybryson1900]

I just bought one off of Ebay. Made in 2020. It has a couple of scratches on the back, but I got it for $340. Waiting for it to arrive.

[@billsimmons1764]

[@billcary838]

Love your playing. Great sounding guitar.

[@woodreed52]

[@travism5195]

looking at buying this and been Stuck between a couple. When you started blue railroad train , I was pumped ! (My go to music store test) .

[@georgeaustin1028]

Enjoy your videos, those are great guitars.

[@kurtdavidson9808]

Just got mine. I guess you could call me barely intermediate player but I truly love this guitar better than any of the Martin’s are the Taylor’s that I picked up and that’s the honest truth

[@lhvent]

I am a huge fan of Alvarez Guitars. My latest is a AD66SHB with solid mahogany top.

[@lucascruzguitar]

Great guitars thanks for watching 👍

[@nathanhallman2828]

Thanks for the video man, always love to hear you play. Great sounding guitar

[@mentalduplex6033]

PLEASE keep making videos. Ive learnt so much from these. Put more up for me to steal.

[@lucascruzguitar]

I intend to do a new video in the next week or two I appreciate you watching and commenting 👍

[@itsjustweezer4054]

You have became a guitar hero of mine, i put u right up there with the greats man. When one of my buddys says somthin about a good acoustic player, I'll tell em, nah, that old delvin lucas cats the best Ive heard haha

[@lucascruzguitar]

Thank you for the kind words, I don’t know what to say!! I appreciate that very much but I’m far from being a great at anything let alone a guitar player but I really do appreciate the compliment 👍

[@eddyj3862]

Delvin, you are one icredible guitarist and your skill is extraordinary!!!!!!!

[@lucascruzguitar]

Thanks for the compliment I really appreciate it, although I don’t consider myself a very good player I just like guitars, thanks for watching 👍

[@garybryson1900]

I liked the video Delvin. I think I'm going to buy one of those. You're a good player.

[@brendanconway7317]

Just subscribed. I read the other comments, you're very modest about your talent, brilliant player 👏

[@lucascruzguitar]

I appreciate that very much, hopefully I can keep making more videos and thanks for watching and your support 👍

[@justinthyme2666]

Like the playing.

[@JSmith-mu3fq]

What gauge you put on it. Sounds very balanced. Great playing!!

[@sunnyray7819]

Thanks for posting! Sounds good Brother! 👍

[@curtthompson8920]

Oh my Delvin you should make that md60gb sound great!! I just went out got me one!! What strings you like using on it. Thx. Enjoy your videos!!!

[@TaylorLabreche]

Man I always love your videos Delvin!

[@guyincognito320]

How does Alvarez's sharp break angle affect string feel? They use the two tier saddle and also the headstock is pitched back farther. I really like the brand. The only problem is you can't play anything in stores anymore.

[@hairlab9646]

Every time I hear an Alvarez MD60BG's I A) regret selling mine to finance half of a maybe 5% better D-18, and am astonished that anyone can make a guitar that good for less that 700 bucks.

[@chuckgillespie1]

Thanks for posting sir. Do you mind if I ask what strings your using and where you ha e the action set? I've been through 4 sets of strings on mine...Liking Martin monel lights the best. Thinking I need to go to medium. Again. Thanks for putting out your videos, I really enjoy them.

[@lucascruzguitar]

Thanks for watching. I use elixir phosphor bronze nanoweb 12-53

[@chuckgillespie1]

@Delvin Lucas Thank you sir!

[@lucascruzguitar]

Thank you buddy 👍

[@Iam_Mojo]

Which is better in your opinion between the Alvarez MD60BG and the Epiphone Hummingbird IBG? Thanks!

[@gavincarrollmusic7401]

What a guitar player holy shit 😳

[@lucascruzguitar]

I appreciate that but I’m not a very good player I just like guitars 👍

[@Deep_under_the_snow]

Damn good playin. I'm trying to get the best from the cheapest all solid guitars on the market. Have this one shortlisted amond Zager 50 and epi hummingbird inspired by Gibson. What would be Your choise?

[@lucascruzguitar]

That’s a good question, my advice is to go to a music store and try them out and what ever you like the Best buy it!! Doesn’t really matter what brand or model it is because what you like is all that matters, your ears won’t lie to you thanks for watching 👍

[@TheGuitarsquatch]

The Zager isn't all solid. The only one of their models that might be all solid is the most expensive one. Also they aren't made in the US like they imply. The Inspired by Gibson Epis look awesome

[@stankers4952]

Nice.

[@richardsbluegrassoffice8382]

Devlin i want to get your john hardy tab!!!

[@lucascruzguitar]

If I knew how to write/read tab I would have been glad to send it to you but I just play by ear

[@richardsbluegrassoffice8382]

@@lucascruzguitar you have special talent

[@roncollins6259]

Hi Delvin. Great videos. Not sure of recording process, but the natural sound of an acoustic come across really good compared to others. I have a Alvarez mf60ce that inspires me more then any guitar I own. I have a Taylor 310 and 810. The 810 is beautiful, but I love the sound of Mahogany, or "Sapelie " in the case of the 310. Isn't "African Mahogany " another word for "Sapelie "? My 310 from 1993 has been by far my favorite, but I like the sound of my OM Alverez better. I'm gonna pick up the dreadnaught this week. Yours was "mistakingly made with Adirondack??? And no pickguard? I could only be so lucky to have such misfortune from the factory! Im woundering where,and how you got it, if you don't mind. Sounds and looks like a gem!! If you ever want to part with it to someone who will appreciate it...🤣

[@roncollins6259]

P.s. Blue railroad train is my all time favorite Rice song. Great choice and REALLY well executed

[@tomformanek3312]

African mahogany is often sipo. It specs out pretty close to SA mahogany with a bit more high end. I have a new Guild D20 and I love the full tone on an all hog guitar.

[@kurtdavidson9808]

Can you tell me how I can learn to play like that on my own. Can afford Lesons? Stupid question right? I know. I can’t imagine playing like you play . God bless you

[@architypeone8646]

Nice playing! I don't think you can beat the value you get with this guitar. It is a lot of guitar for the money. I think if you play it up against any guitar that is 4 or 5 times more expensive and you would be hard pressed to tell that big of a difference in tone. Even if you own an expensive guitar this one would be a great instrument to take camping or in conditions that might make you nervous about damaging your prized guitar.

[@Malagrass]

I loved your playing. Play more jazz! I have that same guitar and I think it’s Pretty good also. I appreciate your video keep them coming

[@chrissietankersley8746]

are they D'Addario strings and what pick are you using?

[@lucascruzguitar]

I’m using elixir nanoweb phosphor bronze and I’m using a Dunlop prime tone pick

[@djstoneenotsjd]

MD60BG does it comes without pickguard?

[@lucascruzguitar]

They all come with a pick guard except for this one, this is the only md60bg I’ve ever seen without one from the factory with out one

[@djstoneenotsjd]

@@lucascruzguitar What do you think about the build quality of this guitar? I'm in doubt between this guitar and a Recording King RD-318, but I've heard of construction flaws on both guitars.

[@lucascruzguitar]

They are really good considering the price, of course they are not that of a Martin but they are great guitars. This one I have is one of a kind it was mistakenly built with a Adirondack top

[@HiggaionSelah_EWFMG]

​mehh!? finish flaws? Not everything is gunna be perfect for under $1k however that said I own both these guitars brand new and both came without flaws perfect ; the RD-328 not bad at all ; the Alvarez EBG blows the RK away however its a bigger guitars with a more select wood choice in my opinion , however built better? Definitely 👍

[@methatlovescats3602]

Its not a pretty guitar, but you sure can play
