Their specification is incredibly high in relation to their cost and they perform as all solid professional guitars should, with fantastic response and projection. Each guitar is designed to get the best out if its components and for them to work together.

These components include Alvarez FST2 bracing system, bi-level rosewood bridge, real bone nut and saddle, carefully seasoned tonewood and a thin finish. FST2 is a forward shifted X brace design, this means the axis of the X is closer to the sound hole and therefore creates a larger soundboard area allowing for more energy and vibration to be harnessed. Both the X braces and asymmetric tone bars are carefully scalloped. The scalloping design was the result of years of continual development in Alvarez Yairi workshops. FST2 also creates very good balance so both the treble and bass registers are clearly present and balanced in relation to each other. Along with a more angled headstock, Alvarez bi-level bridge increases string tension by making the break angel of the strings from the saddle to the top more acute. Improved string tension adds to Alvarez sound, feel and response, which are also heightened by the use of real bone nuts and saddles. Thank you for choosing Alvarez.
