Alvarez has been a leading name in the world of acoustic guitars for over half a decade. Renowned for their top-notch quality and commitment to innovation, an Alvarez guitar is going to deliver amazing tones that you are absolutely going to love. Alvarez was founded in 1965 and quickly came into its own by partnering with master luthier Kazuo Yairi. This partnership led to the production of some of the most beloved musical instruments in the industry, many of which continue to be sought after by performers and collectors alike. Today, Alvarez guitars are now played by some of the biggest names in popular music. Performers as diverse as Joe Bonamassa, Ani DiFranco, Bono, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jerry Garcia, Thom Yorke, Carlos Santana, and legendary Beatle Paul McCartney all strum Alvarez acoustic guitars when they hit the stage or the studio to perform their greatest hits.
The beauty of Alvarez guitars is that there is one for every skill level or style. Take a look at all they have to offer and you will have no trouble finding the acoustic guitar that is right for you. If you're a beginner, for example, there's no better place to start than with the Artist Series AD60 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar. This guitar features a hand-selected solid spruce top, as well as a mahogany back and sides. Its warm, powerful tone is certain to captivate, whether you're showcasing your progress for friends and family, or playing your very first show. Best of all, this guitar is also offered with a left-handed option, so everyone has the opportunity to play.
If you're looking to upgrade from your first guitar, or want the option of plugging in, take a look at the Artist Series AF70CE Folk Acoustic-Electric Guitar. This guitar is a smaller-bodied instrument that offers incredible versatility, volume and projection you're definitely going to appreciate. And if you want to take in up a notch for larger venues, simple plug it in and let the SYS650 Dual pickup take care of the rest.
Alvarez has always taken great pride in their instruments. With build techniques that focus on quality and a commitment to forward thinking innovation, you'll love the sweet sounds of your new Alvarez guitar.
