Juan Alvarez Sr. 1A 1980 flamenco Marcelo Barbero style. Juan Alvarez learned to make guitars with guidance from Marcelo Barbero. Another notable lutheir to come out of that workshop years later was Arcangel Fernandez. This guitar comes from a line of Santos Hernandez and Marcelo Barbero as is reflected in the headstock. It is in the tradition of Barbero using a Red Cedar soundboard with Cypress back and sides. Scale length is 650mm with low action.
This guitar has many hours of live playing and has lots of character. There are two repairs, one on the lower left side of the soundboard and one on the side, which is difficult to see. It is in very good structural condition and the sound has not been altered in any way. This is an excellent guitar for both solo and accompanied performance and is not limited only to flamenco having a full deep sound.
The guitar is priced well below others in the same range and quality.
Most notably, Eric used a Juan Alvarez Sr. guitar made 3 years prior to this guitar for the recording of Tears in Heaven (1991). The guitar was also played during the MTV Unplugged concert in 1992, during which Clapton used it on the intro track, as well as on Tears in Heaver, Circus Left Town, and Lonely Stranger.
Check out:
His guitar was one of the many sold through Eric’s Crossroads Guitar Auction organized in 2004. Based on the info shared by the auction house, Eric gave the guitar to the fashion designer Georgio Armani in 1996, writing “For Giorgio and everyone at ‘El Gadir’ – my love Eric C. 96” on top of the body.
Georgio was kind enough to donate the guitar for the cause, which was to aid the Crossroads Centre – a substance-abuse rehabilitation center located on the Caribbean island of Antigua. In the end, it fetched $253,900, making it one of the highest-priced guitars sold at the auction.
To my ear the voice of this guitar is nearly identical to Eric's. The action is perfect. This can be´yours at less than 1% the price of Eric's.
