PRODUCT GUIDE 2015
2015 is a very special year for
Alvarez. Our brand will celebrate
its 50th anniversary, a landmark
occasion which not only inspires
us to review our history, but also
to look to the future and imagine
Alvarez in another 50 years.
The acoustic guitar has stood the
test of time. Through ever-changing
music landscapes and cultures, and
developments in digital devices for making
and listening to music, the acoustic
guitar has, in design, remained close if
not exactly the same as when C.F. Martin
invented the x-brace system for steel
string guitars back in the 1850’s.
Of course there has been continuous
development in manufacturing as luthiers
and guitar companies try to perfect the
acoustic guitar and its production, but
in overall concept the acoustic guitar
remains the same as it always has been, a
wooden soundbox, with a neck, headstock,
bracings, and strings that has helped
artists express their feelings and influence
ours for decades. It is the songwriter’s
canvas, the musician’s friend, the
instrument you can play softly in the dead
of night or make it shout and scream if you
so desire. So here’s to the acoustic guitar in
general, as well as Alvarez’s 50th birthday.
IT’S OUR DUTY TO MAKE INSTRUMENTS
THAT HELP PLAYERS PRODUCE THE
BEST MUSIC THAT IS WITHIN THEM.
We have some very special instruments
launching this year with our 1965 Series,
and of course the Grateful Dead Series;
it’s their 50th too. But our standard
line has also improved, with a focus on
the quality of the finish. It’s thinner and
shinier, helping to project tone even
further, and make our guitars look
even prettier.
Happy birthday Alvarez! Lets have a
great year and make some more history.

50 YEARS OF
ALVAREZ GUITARS
1965: A YEAR OF TRIUMPHS AND MILESTONES.
ALVAREZ ARTISTS
The year the Beatles released their groundbreaking Rubber Soul
album, the year that The Sound of Music released in theaters
and became an instant classic, and the year that saw Edward
Higgins White become the first American to walk in space.
Over the last 50 years, Alvarez and Alvarez Yairi guitars have
been played by artists of every genre, from folk and blues to
Rock and Heavy Metal. Bob Weir and the late Jerry Garcia of
the Grateful Dead each have signature models, and Bob’s WY1
has become one of the most popular handcrafted guitars in the
world, played regularly by Joe Bonamassa and Ani DiFranco.
And it was a year of conflict and tragedies. Martin Luther King
led protests throughout the south to champion the civil rights
movement. The first US combat troops arrived in Vietnam. We
lost Winston Churchill and TS Elliot.
ST. LOUIS, 1965: A YEAR OF INSPIRATION.
Frank Sinatra had just played the Peabody Opera House. The
magnificent St Louis Arch had just been completed. And in a
quiet part of the city, a company called St. Louis Music had a
vision. A vision for a line of guitars that could reach out to the
musical revolution sweeping the world and inspire a generation
of new players.
This new line of instruments would become Alvarez Guitars.
A PARTNERSHIP
Just a few years later, Alvarez would form a momentous alliance that
would take every aspect of the brand to new heights. Then–owner of
Alvarez, Gene Kornblum, fused his mastery of marketing and guitar
knowledge with the transcendent luthiery of Kazuo Yairi, of Kani,
Japan. This union created a culture of constant improvement at
Alvarez, one that still exists today.
It’s a partnership that has born many successes over the years.
St. Louis Music’s ability to put fine instruments in the hands
of the world’s greatest players has made Alvarez a globally
recognized brand, while the craftsmanship and design of Kazuo
Yairi has defined the brand’s quality for many years. Until his
passing in March of 2014, Kazuo would personally sign the neck
block of his Alvarez-Yairi instruments. His son now carries on
that tradition, and the Master Luthiers taught by Kazuo and
his contemporaries continue building amazing guitars. We will
miss Mr. Yairi greatly. He was a driven and charismatic leader
and in this, our 50 anniversary year, we remember him with
fond memories and great thanks.
Other artists that have brought Alvarez to their stages are Paul
McCartney, U2’s Bono, David Crosby, Johnny and June Carter
Cash, and Carlos Santana.
And while those amazing talents humble us by choosing our
guitars, we’re also driven by the thousands of everyday players
that pick an Alvarez for their unique musical experimentation
and growth.
ALVAREZ BEYOND
For Alvarez, the years to come are a promise of further
innovation and excellence. Our design team are constantly
honing the specs of our guitars, committed to delivering
instruments that don’t only look and sound great, but also offer
a wide variety to consumers, and at a very accessible cost. In the
last few years alone, the brand has won many awards around
the world and continues to garner recognition as a leader and
pioneer in the industry.
The 50th Anniversary of the brand will see the release of
some stunning commemorative models, each featuring tightly
grained, seasoned woods, hand cut Abalone purfling, Acacia
back and sides and our wonderful Shadowburst finish over the
shimmering Sitka.
This exciting new range can be found on page 30.
Looking ahead, into the next half century, it will be a time filled
with new music and artists. Alvarez has always been, and
will continue to be devoted to those creators and players, and
providing them the finest instruments we can craft.
THANK YOU

ALVAREZ
ELECTRONICS
ALVAREZ SYS650
The 650 uses B-BAND’s patented electret film technology replacing the Piezo
materials found in other acoustic guitar pickups. A Piezo pickup tends to
import a sound of its own into the electrified tone, which is often described
as “quacky” or synthetic – You don’t get this with B-BAND technology which
works in much the same way as a condenser microphone, allowing for
accurate reproduction of the instruments true voice.
The SYS650 is a dual pick-up system incorporating one UST (under saddle
transducer) and an AST (acoustic soundboard transducer) placed under the
soundboard, the amplified sound can be blended between the two pickups
to find subtle changes in response for lead, picking or rhythm work.
DESIGNED BY B-BAND
650
SYS650
The SYS650 has a fully chromatic, precision tuner with backlit LCD screen;
3-bands of rotary EQ and a notch filter that helps eliminate feedback while
minimizing degradation of the overall sound.
ALVAREZ SYS550
550
The SYS550 also uses B-bands patented electret film under saddle pickup to
achieve accurate reproduction. This is a single pick up system with an added
feature on the console for ‘Presence’ to help you find the sound you need
when playing live.
SYS550 also has a 3-band EQ and backlit chromatic tuner, notch and
master volume.
ALVAREZ SYS250
250
We’re really happy to feature this great EQ and pick up in our Regent Series
guitars. The SYS250 delivers superb performance and acoustic reproduction
as well as a fully chromatic, precision tuner with backlit LCD screen and a
4-band EQ.

During the course of
45 years the Alvarez
guitar shop in St. Louis
has developed the most
comprehensive pre sale
inspection and adjustment
procedure in the industry.
Every single Alvarez instrument,
irrespective of its price point is
inspected and adjusted in St. Louis.
We know how important it is for a guitar
to not just sound right, but to feel right too
and play perfectly straight out of the box.
Alvarez instruments go through an
advanced set-up process that includes
a full fretboard level and dress, filing of
nut slots and multiple neck/truss rod
adjustments. Every fretboard is oiled,
every note is tested for clarity and bridge
saddle measurements are taken to make
sure your guitar feels and plays just right.

2015 | ARTIST SERIES - 50TH ANNIVERSARY MODELS
35
50 YEARS OF
THE GRATEFUL DEAD
1965, PALO ALTO, CA.
2015, ST. LOUIS, MO.
A freshly formed band of rock and blues musicians were looking
for a new name. Guitarist Jerry Garcia happened upon the littleknown phrase “grateful dead” in a dictionary, a preciously brief
moment, but one that would influence entire generations of
rock and roll fans.
Grateful Dead enthusiasts will love the official artwork, applied
to the cedar tops by an innovative screen printing process, and
all guitarists will appreciate the fine construction, playability
and tone of these instruments.
The Grateful Dead went on to have one of the most storied
careers in all of rock and roll. They produced dozens of albums
and played thousands of shows around the globe, supported by
a legendary following of loyal fans that continue to celebrate the
band to this day. In 1994, the Grateful Dead were inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
THE
To commemorate the band’s
50th Anniversary, Alvarez is proud
to present the Grateful Dead Series,
limited edition, signature guitars.
SE
Each model features a solid A grade western red cedar top, screen
printed under a flawless satin finish. Other appointments include
custom mother of pearl inlays, a rosewood fingerboard and bilevel bridge and 12th fret lightning bolt inlay. Both models are
constructed using the Alvarez FST2M hand finished, forward shifted,
scalloped bracing system for optimal performance and response.
Each Grateful Dead Series guitar is very slightly unique due to
the screen printing process developed to apply the artwork.
This process allows the color and grain pattern of each top to
contribute towards the aesthetics. Since every piece of wood is
unique then the look of each guitar is, too. The printing process
also gives the Grateful Dead series a cool vintage vibe and the
color of the solid western red cedar top is allowed to be part of
the artwork, again adding individuality, making each one of these
guitars a unique, and special instrument.
RIES
SIMPLY STUNNING AND UNIQUE,
JUST LIKE THE BAND THEMSELVES.

CUSTOM ARTWORK
Inspired by classic Grateful Dead
images, the designs have been
applied using a custom screen
printing process. Thanks to Mother
Nature, each guitar top varies slightly
in both grain and color, making every
Alvarez Grateful Dead guitar a unique
instrument.
SIGNATURE 12th FRET INLAY
The “Lightning Bolt” is a Grateful
Dead icon, and a design used on Bob
Weir’s WY1. The Inlay is made from
premium Mother of Pearl.
DANCING BEAR
Like the artwork applied to the top,
the guitar itself is meant to be full
of surprises. We could not resist adding
the dancing bear to the back of the
headstock.
“
Alvarez is proud to have
had Jerry and Bob play
Alvarez guitars for so long.
Bob continues today playing

MASTERWORKS
SERIES
The All-New
Masterworks Series.
Nothing can really match a guitar made from
all-solid wood. The deflection of the notes is
quicker, the quality of the note is better and the
sound of your guitar will improve as it ages.
Masterworks are great guitars, seriously
powerful and responsive and now built with our
new FST2M bracing system, their sound is so
refined and articulate, it’s hard to match.

ALVAREZ YAIRI
SERIES
Perfection is a journey,
not a destination.
The wonderful thing about making acoustic guitars is
they are incredibly sensitive and complex instruments.
Decades, careers, lifetimes have been spent trying to
perfect or find the sound in the luthier’s head, but often
it eludes us. Only time, experimentation and experience
can help us get the results we are after.
Alvarez-Yairi guitars have held a special place in players
hearts for nearly fifty years. Some of the greatest
songwriters and guitarists ever to grace the planet have
played them. So when we came to updating the AlvarezYairi Series, we did it with great care and the reverence
it deserves.
Two years of development has resulted in us producing
the finest guitars we have ever made. Eloquently voiced
instruments, beautifully balanced with a charisma and
tonal personality you will fall in love with.
The all-new Alvarez-Yairi Series is simply superb.
