Alvarez DY-51 Pros:

This is (I think) one of the easier acoustics to play. The neck is somewhat thin and the action is quick when you want it. When my friends play it, they love it. The value is great for what I paid for it. In fact, it has gone up a bit.

Alvarez DY-51 Cons:

I am not a pro, so I really can't think of anything that would be considered a con.
