ALVAREZ ARTIST ALVAREZ ARTIST
I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THE
ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF HUMAN TO
INSTRUMENT FOR MANY YEARS NOW.
THAT SEARCH LEAD ME TO A ‘CLEAN’
GUITAR SOUND THAT WAS EXPRESSIVE,
SUBTLE, YET ABLE TO COMMUNICATE
VOLUMES WITH THE SILENCE. STRANGELY,
I HAD NOT CONSIDERED AN ACOUSTIC
GUITAR AS THE NATURAL EXTENTION
OF THAT SEARCH, BUT IN THINKING OF
IT... I REALIZED THAT THE NAKED TRUTH
OF MAN AND MUSIC IS ALMOST BEST
EXPRESSED BY A PIECE OF WOOD AND
YOUR SOUL VIA THE HANDS. MY QUEST
LEAD ME TO ALVAREZ GUITARS. THE
ACOUSTIC THAT I USE HAS BECOME ONE
OF MY TOP THREE PERSONAL FAVORITE
GUITARS EVER, ELECTRIC OR OTHERWISE.
IT IS LIKE A BIOLOGICAL EXTENTION OF
MYSELF. I FEEL MY IDENTITY IN IT, DEEP
RESONANCE, AND AN ORGANIC CHIME
THAT SAYS MORE IN THREE NOTES THAN
I HAVE TYPICALLY BEEN ABLE TO SAY
IN 40. LOVE THESE ACOUSTIC GUITARS.

I BOUGHT MY 1987 ALVAREZ DY62C GUITAR “EXCALIBUR” AT PARKER MUSIC
IN HOUSTON, TEXAS IN 1988. I TRADED A HAMER ELECTRIC GUITAR, A BOOGIE
AMP WITH FLIGHT CASE, PLUS $150 CASH. SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT I’M CRAZY
FOR TOURING THE WORLD WITH ONLY ONE GUITAR. I SAY I’M CRAZY SMART.
