Alvarez guitars have been manufactured for decades, beginning in 1991 when the company replaced Westone. LOUD Technologies, owner of the brands Mackie, Ampeg and Crate, has acquired Alvarez. Most Alvarez guitars are made in China, and are famous for their high quality and beautiful sounds. For hand-made instruments, Alvarez has turned to Kani, in Gifu-Japan.
Many famous artists and rockers use Alvarez guitars, such as Bob Weir (of the Grateful Dead), Aaron Lewis (Staind) and Monte Montgomery. That alone is a testament to the brand's excellent quality. By owning an Alvarez acoustic guitar, one won't have to worry about it breaking easily, or getting scratched. They are made to be extremely durable and well-suited for travel. Alvarez has produced several series for various instruments, including mandolins, banjos and more. They have sold a huge number of guitars worldwide and do not appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
Inspired by the philosophies and traditions of Yairi guitars, Alvarez acoustic guitars are well-suited for both casual guitar players and enthusiasts. They are created using the very best wood and equally great craftsmanship, and have been praised for their playability. All of these desirable qualities are found in all their guitars. Knowing that, it is no wonder that Alvarez has such a good reputation.
