In this post I will describe some of the basic features found on my recently (July) acquired Juan Álvarez Concert Guitar. J. Álvarez (born in 1960-Madrid, Spain) is a second generation guitar maker located in Madrid, Spain.
He learned a lot from his father, Juan Álvarez Gil (1932-2001), a very respectable luthier who is a follower of the tradition of the Madrid School of Guitar Making dating back to Marcelo Barbero who was a disciple of the famous Manuel Ramírez.Juan makes both flamenco and classical guitars and are hand made using traditional methods. For more information visit http://www.guitarrasjuanalvarez.com/inicio-guitarras-juan-alvarez.html I'm very satisfied with this instrument for many reasons but I would like to point out a few, namely its excellent sound quality (very noticeable on the 3rd string and in the higher register -most guitars' weak-points), great balance between bass and treble strings, playability and abundant volume when playing both ppp and fff on both open and stopped notes.
