A Useful Buying Guide for Alvarez Acoustic Guitars

Alvarez acoustic guitars provide you with the means to play music that sounds natural, while also allowing you to use the instrument without needing to hook it up to an amplifier or audio system. Whether you're a seasoned professional or beginner who's never picked up a guitar before, these acoustic guitars offer a substantial amount of variety. eBay offers preowned Alvarez guitar models that are built for either right-handed or left-handed players.

Although the selection of an acoustic guitar comes largely down to preference, the body material does make somewhat of a difference in the audio that's produced by that instrument. The three main types of wood used in the construction of guitars by Alvarez are mahogany, spruce, and rosewood.

• Mahogany - Mainly used for the back and sides of an Alvarez guitar, mahogany is a very dense wood with a darker finish. The tone it produces is very warm but also dark in nature.
• Spruce - This material is among the most widely used for the tops of guitars and is notable for its pale color. This wood produces a rounded tone that's sweet but not overtly bright.
• Rosewood - This tonewood variety offers a smooth and warm tone that's combined with a variety of harmonic overtones. The body of a rosewood guitar is typically dark brown in color, and rosewood is usually seen on the sides and back of a guitar.

The three body types of an acoustic guitar by Alvarez are the dreadnought, parlor, and jumbo. The body type of a guitar largely dictates how the instrument is shaped, but the type can also play a part in how the instrument sounds and the weight of it.

• Parlor - This type of guitar is notable for its very light weight and small size as well as its rich tones and easy playability.
• Jumbo - These guitars offer up robust audio that tends to resonate due to their large size.
• Dreadnought - This body style uses a very large soundboard and includes wide waists and necks with 14 frets. Because of their powerful and lingering sounds, dreadnoughts are used mainly by musicians who play bluegrass music.
