The Song May Be Short, But It Can Resonate Forever
Alvarez Professional Series guitars represent that delicate balance between unparalled performance and stylish cosmetics. Solid Canadian Spruce tops with scalloped bracing, matched with backs of solid Indian Rosewood or Mahogany, offer superb tone and projection. The traditional dovetail neck joint ensures optimum transfer of string energy between the neck and body, and guarantees the structural integrity of the instrument.

Uncompromising performance is only part of the picture. Alvarez Professional Series guitars feature labor-intensive Maple binding, genuine Abalone shell inlays and Gold hardware, creating an understated elegance and classic visual presence.

The tree of life is a symbol that last forever. I will keep it as long as I live and give it to my children for their inheritance.
Sound
I am 54 years of age, and I have been playing the guitar since I was 12 years old. I have own several guitars all through out the years and got rid of the guitars that I did not like. I kept a few good ones. I kept two Alvarez' guitars. One Indian Rosewood Yairi and one PD 100S. Although my Yairi is almost 3x more expensive than my PD 100S,I like the sound of my PD 100S beter. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate the sound of my Yairi 8 and 9 on my PD 100S. I gave my Yairi to my 21 year old son on his 18th birthday. My 17 year old son told me that his birthday is coming and he said that he really like the sound of my PD 100S Alvarez. You know what that means. For the sound quality of the PD 100S, I do not mind getting another one for my son's 18th birthday next month. Sonny
