Alvarez Guitars Are Coming to Musicmaker – A New Acoustic Era
There are certain guitar brands that quietly earn respect over decades. Not through hype. Not through gimmicks. But through consistency, tone and craftsmanship.
Alvarez is one of those brands.
And very soon, for the first time ever, Alvarez acoustic guitars will be arriving at Musicmaker.
From the road-tested reliability of the Artist Series to the refined voicing of the Masterworks line and the elite craftsmanship of the Laureate Series, Alvarez has built a reputation for delivering instruments that punch far above their price point — guitars that players grow with, record with and gig with.
If you’ve been searching for a new acoustic guitar in Ireland, or keeping an eye out for a brand that blends heritage craftsmanship with modern performance, now is the time to start paying attention.
Who Are Alvarez Guitars?
Founded in 1965, Alvarez has long been associated with thoughtful design and forward-thinking acoustic construction. The brand built early partnerships with Japanese luthiers, and over the decades developed a reputation for precision build quality, tonal balance and accessible excellence.
Today, Alvarez continues that legacy with a focus on:
- Carefully selected tonewoods
- Forward-shifted and scalloped bracing systems
- Thin, resonance-friendly finishes
- Playability that suits both beginners and professionals
What sets Alvarez apart is their approach to voicing. Their guitars aren’t just assembled — they’re tuned. The bracing patterns, body shapes and wood pairings are all designed to work together to produce clear projection, balanced mids and controlled low-end warmth.
In short: they take acoustic tone seriously.
And that’s why this upcoming shipment matters.

The Alvarez Artist Series – Affordable, Reliable, Inspiring
The Artist Series is where many players first fall in love with Alvarez.
Designed to offer exceptional value without sacrificing tonal integrity, Artist Series guitars often feature solid tops paired with carefully chosen back and side tonewoods. The result is a responsive, lively instrument that improves with age and playing time.
These guitars are perfect for:
- Beginners wanting a serious first acoustic
- Singer-songwriters looking for dependable gigging tools
- Players upgrading from entry-level laminated instruments
Expect clarity in the highs, supportive mids and a low-end that doesn’t overpower the mix. The Artist Series is all about balance and musicality.
For anyone searching for the best beginner acoustic guitar in Ireland or a high-quality affordable acoustic, this range is going to turn heads.
Alvarez Masterworks Series – Solid Wood, Serious Tone
Now we step into more refined territory.
The Masterworks Series is where Alvarez leans into fully solid tonewoods and advanced bracing systems. These guitars are designed for players who demand greater projection, harmonic complexity and tonal maturity.
With solid tops and solid back and sides, Masterworks guitars resonate more freely, offering richer overtones and greater dynamic range. They respond beautifully to both light fingerstyle and aggressive strumming.
The voicing here is deliberate — strong fundamental notes, shimmering upper harmonics and excellent sustain.
These are the guitars you take into the studio. The guitars you gig confidently. The guitars that open up the more you play them.
If you’re looking for a professional-level acoustic guitar without boutique-level pricing, the Masterworks series is a serious contender.
The Laureate Series – Premium Craft, Modern Precision
And then… some saucy, saucy business.
The Alvarez Laureate Series represents the brand at its most refined. These guitars are crafted with premium solid tonewoods, elegant aesthetics and exceptional attention to detail.
Expect:
- Superior wood selection
- Advanced bracing patterns
- Lightweight construction for maximum resonance
- Stunning visual appointments
Laureate guitars are built for discerning players — musicians who feel the difference between good and extraordinary.
These instruments offer depth, sustain and articulation that rewards expressive playing. Whether you’re fingerpicking delicately or strumming full-bodied chords, the response is immediate and nuanced.
They’re not flashy for the sake of it. They’re confident. Controlled. Mature.
And very soon, they’ll be here.
