Alvarez Guitars Jazz & Blues

Recreating the Sound of America's Musical Heartbeat.



Launched in 2016, the Jazz and Blues Series has been incredibly well received, winning awards and rave reviews around the world. Beautifully made, genre specific tone, offering class-leading value.

Our J&B flat tops are vintage all the way, with back shifted, scalloped bracing and traditional rosewood bridges. The neck has a soft V-profile and string spacing is tailored towards fingerpicking. Tonally these guitars retain the compression usually associated with smaller bodied instruments, but due to our bracing they are a little more "Hi-Fi" and dynamic than pre-war designs for a more modern style projection and response.

J&B arch tops are the real deal and offer incredible value. It's been many years since Alvarez created guitars with electro-magnetic pick-ups, and we wanted to make these instruments special. Our arch tops are superb quality and deliver amazing tones and player experience through fastidious design and development and awesome Duncan Designed pick-ups.
