1977 Juan Alvarez Classical Guitar
Juan Alvarez · classical guitar
Juan Alvarez is a classical and flamenco guitar brand with roots in Spanish luthiery tradition, building nylon-string instruments aimed at classical technique rather than the steel-string designs used in most popular music. A 1977 example represents mid-1970s production from the workshop. Independent documentation of this specific instrument and its ownership history is limited, so this description does not assert further provenance details beyond the Eric Clapton association carried in this catalogue, which itself is not independently confirmed.
