and then the number inside the guitar are
D208020430 or the d is a 0 help us out pleasei know nothing about this guitar
Answer Thank you for your question. As far as the year made, if the D on the last number you gave me is indeed a 0, that means your guitar was made sometime in 2002. This website might help you out... http://www.alvarezgtr.com/technical.php
As for the RD8's, they sell new for about $200. Although, if your guitar is a Regent series, it sells new for about $240.
I hope this helps you out. Alvarez makes a great guitar, and I'd say the one you have is a keeper. -Wes
