Re: alcivar electric guitar
This is too funny. I google "alcivar guitar" to see if there's any info on them, and it just leads to dozens of other folk looking for info on Alcivar guitars. I own an Alcivar electric guitar. I got it in 1987 and it is the best guitar! It's a hollow bodied, f-holed jazz guitar with a floating brige, so you gotta treat her sweet.
Re: alcivar electric guitar
My last name is Alcivar (really!), but I don't know anything about any relatives who make guitars.

I own a Les Paul style Alcivar. Black with ivory trim. It's gorgeous and I know Peter Frampton and Alex Lifeson use ones that look identical.
Check out 2112 on Rush in Rio or Frampton in the documentaries of Almost Famous which he worked on.
I also bought mine second hand in Canada (Kitchener) and I'd love to know more about the company or even the guitar.

I know! I just bought a second hand Alcivar as well. It is a thin line hollow body jazz/bluses electric with the F holes etc. it is so sweet. Why they aren't more valuable I'll never know. I have been looking for ags on ifo but they seem to have vanished off the planet. apparently Japenese that's all I know!

i just bought a thinline hollowbody alcivar...its brown wood grain with a cream stripe through the middle of it.....all i've found out is that it was made in the east somewhere....its a gibson 335 copy...pretty dead on if you ask me...its got a neck-thru design, a solid block through the center, f-holes, engravings on the pickups....one sharp looking guitar....beautiful neck......i heard that they were pre-ibanez. but thats all i know.

Re: alcivar electric guitar
My Father was given one from new in the late 70s I believe, and he thinks it was bought in Toronto. Japanese Stratocaster copy. All maple body, 1-piece maple neck, great sounding pickups. The truss rod broke and I had a new one installed locally because the neck was truly that nice. It's a great instrument that I would never sell (even if it wasnt a sentimental piece). I would LOVE more info on it.
Re: alcivar electric guitar
I've had my Alcivar electric guitar for over 40 years. It's in very good shape and has a great sound. It's a nice burgandy colour with a light brown neck.
It was given to me and wasn't new at the time so it must be at least 45 years old.
Re: alcivar electric guitar
These guitar are Ibanez guitars sold in Japan. Sold (at that time) under the name Alcivar. The people in Japan were very good at making good quality guitars. These guitars were made at the Ibanez plant in Japan.They are of the Ibanez family of guitars. If you have one, hold on to it. They are excellent old guitars.

Re: alcivar electric guitar
I bought a steel-top acoustic Alcivar at a pawn shop in Toronto 12 years ago... never found any info on it either.
Re: alcivar electric guitar
5or so years ago i bought an Alcivar copy of a gibson SG- nice looking natural wood finish....i've never seen a guitar with such an odd electronic set up--- although it never worked for me...it has 3 2 way selector switches one volume two tone switches, a 3 way pickup selector at the top, like the SG, and one 6 0r 8 way clicking selector-- all this plugged into a chip board with alote of electronic parts and a nine volt battery---never knew what this was all for---unfortunently it never worked and i gutted the old electronics--- it came with Di Marzio pick ups too..
Re: alcivar electric guitar
I bought an Alcivar acoustic in 1977 at a pawn shop in Victoria BC Canada.It is an extact copy of a Gibson copy It is one of the best sounding gutars i have ever heard then and still today people rave at the sound it produces. Inside it has the date of manufacture and a number that i think would represent the number that it was made. Just recently had all the frets and macine heads done. Anyone who has info please let me know thanks.
Re: alcivar electric guitar
:i also have one copy of a les paul sunburst.got in kitchener
alcivar
I have a sunburst alcivar as well, bought it up north about 10 years ago. Its a beautiful guitar and I cant find a thing out about it. They guy that I bought it from said that Alcivar was the only company besides epiphone that was given permission to use the Les Paul signature. Could be false, who knows!!

Somebody must know something!
I've had my Alcivar Acoustic for about 7 years, left in my dorm room. All these years have passed and still no info on the maker.
Re: Somebody must know something!
I have an Alcivar. Bought it about 30 years ago. Model #K100W. Made in Japan on the label. The sound of this guitar is just as good as some of the top names
Re: Somebody must know something!
: I was given this guitar " alcivar k100w" from a friend to restore, he saw the guitar being tossed into the garbage heap near his apartment building. third string machine head was missing.
I am restoring the guitar for him. I agree it has a great sound quality and very playable.
How much did you pay for yours?
