Alvarez and their big brother brand Alvarez-Yairi craft gorgeous acoustic guitars, almost all of which are available with an electronic option. A whole host of highly talented guitarists have been known to use Alvarez guitars, both in past and present. These artists include Johnny Cash, Bono, Crosby Stills & Nash, Jerry Garcia, Sir Paul McCartney, Carlos Santana, and many others. Their RD8 is a popular model for beginners who don’t want to sound like beginners, and for those looking for something a little funkier, their vintage '70s Regent 4103 made in Japan is a fantastic pick. Find both vintage and newer models on Reverb.
