I have an Alvarez 12-string that was given to me about 10 years ago. I couldn't tell you much about it other than it's not a Yairi. It's a basic dread with no cutaway and a Fishman soundhole PU for stage. This guitar sounds great and has been my main acoustic for years.
I bought a Washburn D10SCE recently because I needed an affordable 6 string acoustic/electric (something that's a little easier on the hands for difficult chords and easy to tune). This guitar was a nice surprise. I expected it to be a bit below average for some reason but it has great tone acoustic and plugged in. The frets are finished well, Black paint with no flaws, it came set up nice, keeps tune, and has nice eq and a solid tuner right along the top. It's well worth more than the $300 they go for. I'm sure there is better (always is) but for my budget this guitar is a killer deal.
