2012年1月12日 · Alvarez guitars are great! My first really nice guitar was an early 90's Yairi dreadnought. In the mid range price point they're excellent guitars, they have a 12 string jumbo with maple back and sides I've been itching to buy for awhile.

2014年10月16日 · Supposedly Alvarez used the Emperor year.. The chart below can tell you what the year is: conflicting reports of accuracy, some think this only applies to Yairi guitars, which you have there. A.D. Emperor Year 1970 Showa 45 1971 46 1972 47 1973 48 1974 49 1975 50 1976 51 1977 52 1978 53 1979 54 1980 55 1981 56 1982 57

I have an Alvarez Ajsoc or something like that, the art series acoustic. It doesn't sound as good as my Taylor but it is amazing for how much it was. It was probably the best acoustic I could've gotten from the 0-1000 range. They're a quality fair prices brand imo and I still play that Alvarez because of how good it sounds and feels.

2021年3月25日 · Made in Japan Alvarez guitars are excellent instruments in general. Older models made during the late 70's/early 80's were phenomenal deals and are quiet collectors at this point. At least to my knowledge with the caveat that it's been a …

Of course, that may not be true anymore because all of the Asian companies have been putting out some crazy good guitars for the price (check out Loar, Recording King, and Blueridge) but the AD60 well at least compare well to any similarly priced instrument. Yamaha is OK. I think the brand has a lot more varience than Alvarez.

2023年5月27日 · I have a 6 and 12 string jumbo. Picked up the 6 in 2003 for like $475, and the 12 in 2016 for about $600. For all the multi you've dollar Gibson, Martin, Guild, and Taylor guitars that come through my studio, my Alvarez guitars are routinely the best recording guitars of …

2023年1月17日 · Their E1 and E2 series guitars are around $500 new on reverb. Excellent guitars. I've got an E20D that I wouldn't trade for any guitar. I bought my daughter an E2om that is a fantastic guitar. IMO they are the best guitars in the price range hands down. Alvarez and Yamaha do make some pretty good instruments in that price range.

Alvarez had multiple lines that, at least back in the day, broadly broke down as Alvarez, Alvarez-Yairi, and occasionally just Yairi. At least back when I would check them out, the more it seemed to reference Kozuo Yairi's part in things, the better quality they would be. So if it just said Alvarez, I wouldn't expect much.

2024年3月6日 · I didn't really know anything about guitars or what I was doing in the beginning of playing, and bought some cedar top guitars. I knew the sound was just off for the style of music. I eventually got the Alvarez. I just love the crisp large sound of it.. Granted I'm not exactly sure what brand guitars are popular with that style.

2022年9月13日 · The Yairi Alvarez guitars are amazing. But most Alvarez guitars that I’ve played seemed to lack the magic that many others in the same price range can have. For example, I love the Seagulls for that price, and for the price of a mid-grade Alvarez, I can get a livelier guitar.
