ALVAREZ GUITARS

When Buying an Alvarez Guitar, Consider this

Our knowledgeable staff provides tailored advice while you’re choosing your preferred guitar. A few tips: 

• Consider its purpose and your budget. Your first step when buying a guitar is to think about the intended use and how much money you’re willing to spend. If you’re a beginner looking for your first guitar to practice on, you may not want to buy a high-end model just yet. However, if you’re an experienced player wanting to upgrade, you first need to understand the difference between tone-woods, and how the soundboard affects the quality. If your ideal guitar is for public events, an acoustic-electric guitar offers the best of both sounds. The built-in pre-amplifier allows you to effortlessly plug into a sound system and provides a rich, acoustic sound. When acoustic-electric guitars are not plugged into an amplifier, they provide the same benefits as an acoustic guitar. 

• Consider the construction and design. Understanding the design and build of an Alvarez acoustic guitar will enable you to hear and see subtle differences to help with your purchase decision. The neck of an acoustic guitar houses the fretboard, shaped to comfortably accommodate the fretting hand. The body consists of the soundboard, sides, and backing, which form a hollow chamber. Both the size and shape of the body influence the playability and tone of the guitar. Choosing a shape that matches your physical requirements allows for a comfortable play-style. 
• Consider styles and sounds. While most acoustic guitars share similar construction elements, there are some differences in the body styles, neck size, string material, and tone-woods that affect sound and playability. Choose a body style based on both comfort and your preferred sound. Generally, the bigger the soundboard, the deeper the tone. Some guitar styles pair a deep soundboard with a small waist for increased comfort levels. The size of the neck varies depending on the body measurements, and while it doesn’t affect the sound, it caters to your preferred comfort level. Smaller hands require a neck with a small diameter for ease of use. String material depends on the type of music that you’ll play. Nylon strings produce a mellow tone, while steel strings are common tools for rock and country musicians. The expansive variety of wood options available affect both the sound and the look of your guitar.
