Hi, I am new to the group but have owned my DY38 for many years now. It is an exceptional guitar. I haven't played the 74, but I play with the 38 against a...
Is there a timeline for the Alvarez logo - are guitars with the name "Alvarez" spelled out in cursive or print lettering older than those with the inverted 'A'...
I've seen a variety of ways that Alvarez (not ay) marked their guitars...the very early ones are more difficult, since there doesn't appear to be much info on...
Thanks to those of you who responded to my plea for help. Before going any further, let me correct myself. The guitars I was looking at were a DY38(maple)...
KC, Excellent choice for the sound!!! I've never heard one better than a DY-74S myself! Hopefully the appearance of the 74S will more suite your taste than it...
I posted this msg back in Sept., and I regret that I was not able to respond to a couple of people who wrote. I am still interested in selling the guitar to...
just saw a dove on e-bay, but is it not like my 5024. mine must be a dressed down model. mine does not have the fancy pick guard,(no dove). mine does have the...
I just purchased a 1981 Yairi DY54 at Guitar Center. I fell in love with it the minute I played it. It was priced @ $950 with a hard shell case. The case looks...
Here's what the bluebook lists it at: DY 54 SILVER FAWN - dreadnought style, solid Canadian spruce top, round soundhole, maple bound body, turquoise/wood...
I have an old alvarez and I don't know anything about it ... think my Dad bought it at a swap meet ... The modle number on the lable ia 4103 ... the lable also...
Hey All, Just joined and thought I would say howdy to all. I got my DY 62C a few years back at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. It was an impulse buy, but I...
I just got finished reading up on this model~ here's the info from a late 70's Alvarez catalog: The model 4103 was called Alvarez Classic Special, and was the...
Well you didn't say you were using a tuning meter so first thing I would suggest is buying an old Boss tuning meter on eBay or your local used music goods...
Maybe you can educate me. What does the set up do that will affect the tuning of the guitar. I've noticed that I'm a little out of tune in the treble strings...
Hey Big, Well, I do and don't use a tuner. I'll get a reference and will tune the guitar to itself as there are subtle imperfections. I use a combination of...
KC and Dave, Well I would ask you this: when was the last time you had your guitar setup - when did you have a tech check the level of the frets, the neck...
Hey Big, Yup, had it looked at a few times. The guy that built my mando, Steve Rossow, also builds guitars and took a look at it for me. All seems to be in...
I concur. If you use other pedals, put it first in line. I set mine on the 'sweep' display to make it easier to read. Stomp on it to tune or to swap out...
You are correct Dan and I forgot to mention the order. I have my turner first, then my compressor then my 808 and then my crybaby. The other cool thing about...
I use the Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner. Followed by an Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, a Boss CS-3 Compressor/Sustainer, a Boss GR-7 graphic equalizer, a Vox Cry Baby...
Dan is using the same tuner pedal as I am and his order is almost the same. I might suggest for Dan try the compressor 2nd in the string ( behind the tuner) I...
Dave & Dan: I too have a similar set-up and love my Boss TU-2 (tuner pedal)! It is invaluable for keeping my guitars in tune. My only other comment is my...
Been watching this discussion in awe.. most of it goes way over my old head (heck, I'm lucky to plug my WY1 in the right hole on my tiny amp!) but, the tuner...
I have an old Boss TU-12, you plug your guitar into it and tune up the E string, the meter had red leds for each string note and a BIG meter in the middle with...
Hey BIG! Okay, the old tuner that I have is a KORG GT-3, evidently is for guitar and bass, and has red LED*lights marked (left to right) * * * * * *...
