Live Demo, Guitar Giveaway & Meet the Maker Event – May 14th
Big news for acoustic guitar fans in Ireland — Alvarez Guitars have officially arrived at Musicmaker Dublin, and we’re kicking things off with a special one-night event celebrating one of the most respected names in acoustic guitar craftsmanship.
On Thursday, May 14th, Musicmaker welcomes Chris Meikle, COO of Alvarez Guitars, for an exclusive Meet the Maker evening packed with guitars, stories, demos, and hands-on time with the latest Alvarez range.
If you’ve been searching for a premium acoustic guitar in Ireland, curious about Alvarez tonewoods and body styles, or simply want to hear some exceptional instruments played properly, this is the event to catch.
An Evening with Alvarez Guitars
For decades, Alvarez have quietly built a reputation as one of the finest acoustic guitar brands in the world. Their instruments are known for rich projection, balanced tone, effortless playability, and an attention to detail usually reserved for guitars at a much higher price point.
During the evening, we’ll explore the full Alvarez lineup, including:
- Artist Series
- Masterworks Series
- Laureate Series
- Steel-string acoustics
- Classical & nylon-string guitars
- Dreadnoughts
- Grand Auditoriums
- Folk and performance body shapes
Chris Meikle will take guests through the design philosophy behind Alvarez guitars, discussing construction methods, bracing systems, tonewoods, and what makes these instruments stand out in today’s acoustic guitar world.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the people behind the brand and get genuine insight into modern acoustic guitar building.
Win an Alvarez Guitar on the Night
We couldn’t celebrate properly without a few surprises.
Everyone attending the event will have the chance to win prizes on the night — including a brand new Alvarez acoustic guitar.
Not bad for a free evening out in Dublin.
Why Alvarez Guitars Are Turning Heads
Founded in 1965, Alvarez has spent decades refining the balance between traditional luthiery and modern innovation. Their guitars are trusted by gigging musicians, songwriters, recording artists, and players looking for serious quality without entering boutique-level pricing.
Features that have made Alvarez a favourite worldwide include:
- Carefully selected solid tonewoods
- Advanced forward-shifted bracing designs
- Exceptional factory setup and playability
- Warm, articulate acoustic tone
- Outstanding value for money
From first serious acoustics to professional-level performance guitars, Alvarez continues to earn a loyal following across every style of player.
And now, Irish players finally get the chance to experience the full range properly at Musicmaker.
