Title A name given to the resource My first guitar Subject The topic of the resource Personal Objects Description An account of the resource This is a photo of my first guitar. It is an Alvarez Dana Scoop guitar made by the well-known acoustic guitar brand "Alvarez." They made these guitars from 1991-1994 so this guitar is older than me. They made them so they could compete with other guitar companies making 80's style shred guitars like Ibanez and Charvel-Jackson. All of them are made in Korea in a similar construction to the one I have. My mother got this guitar for me when I was in high school as it was affordable since the previous owner had not taken the best care of it. However, it was still playable and to this day I am thankful for my mother buying it for me as a gift. Regardless of how many guitars I've had, I still have have a sweet spot for this guitar and always will. Fun fact about this instrument; the cutaway it has behind the neck where it joins the body was made as a result of an accident in the factory. A worker was routing Alvarez's standard "Super-strat" style guitar bodies and when he got to the neck-joint a piece of the body flew off. Long story short, he smoothed out the gap in the body with the router and the company loved it so they made it and called it the "scoop" guitar. Hence the name "Alvarez Dana Scoop" The design of this instrument is made to be striking in appearance to get the attention of whoever is seeing you play music, it's also meant to be practical one can sit down and play it like almost any other guitar. It has a pre-amp in the wiring components to make the pickups active which helps them pick up more vibrations from the strings. This makes playing on the clean channel sound more clear and have more sustain with each note. The same can be said for the distortion channel as the active pickups make the guitar sound really heavy and "throttled out." It's a guitar designed for metal and solos as the Floyd Rose floating tremolo gives access to a "whammy bar" and gives players the opportunity to do all sorts of sounds on the instrument. Metal players will love this guitar as it looks and sounds the part.
