Masterguitar - Juan Alvarez Profesionales - - Chitarra classica - Spagna - 2001

Since 1946, when Juan Alvarez started his own business as a craftsman - supported by work closely linked to the great master Marcelo Barberó - his reputation as a respected guitar maker has not stopped growing.

Alvarez is a member of the elite of the Madrid school of guitar making, and an icon of the profession thanks to the quality of his craftsmanship and the sound of his guitars. Since 1977, Juan Miguel Alvarez has taken his father's work even further, endowing his guitars with more power and a careful construction that makes playing particularly comfortable.
There is a crack on the cover that was repaired by a professional musician, which in no way affects the beautiful full ringing sound of the guitar.

His instruments are highly valued not only in our country, but also internationally, as we can see them in the hands of guitarists worldwide.
Eric Clapton used a guitar signed by the master in the studio to record "Tears in Heaven" and on MTV Unplugged.
This instrument sold for $253,900 at auction. Another Juan Alvarez guitar sold for $101,600 at www.bid.juliensauctions.com. https://bid.juliensauctions.com/lot-details/index/catalog/491/lot/234280/eric-clapton-played-alvarez-acoustic-guitar-used-to-write-tears-in-heaven#mz-
