: Alcivar is a trademark for which very little information is known. It appears that these are Japanese instruments that were produced in the 1980s. They are often copies of popular American copies (i.e. Les Paul, ES-335, etc.). There have been instruments found with DiMarzio pickups and active electronics. These appear to be fairly well-built guitars; however, they do not command a lot of money like most people think. This is because very little information is known about them, and 99 out of 100 Asian guitar manufacturers have produced very cheap guitars. These guitars are often found in pawn shops and online. Serial numbers and model information are often nonexistent, and if they were available, this information was once on a sticker that fell off long ago. Do not expect to pay too much or receive too much when you sell them.
I have an Alicivar Acoustic with a serial number
19770328. The 328th of thiis kind in 1977, I know this because i baught it in 1977 in a pawn shop in Victoria BC. It is the Gibson Dove copy. I have listened too many many guitars in my Life and my Alcivar is the best Ive ever heard. I have seen an original Gibson Dove and they are virtualy the same Wood, Construction, and Decoration. along with the bridge,inlay and pickgaurd. I too took mine just recently to Long and Mqades here in Victoria they loved the sound but knew little of the makers.. Just love my Alcivar.

Hi there,
I started playing guitar when I was 11. My father brought home an Alcivar from a pawn shop for my sister and I locked it in my room until he paid for it for me three months later. That guitar was my first love. This was is 1974. When I was 36 my step-son stole it to give to a girl he went to University with... trying to impress her. All he can remember is her first name and that she was from somewhere in Alberta. To this day I want to hire a private detective to track down my guitar and a hit man to take care of my idiot step-son! I now have a beautiful 12 string which I love very much, and two sixes (Aria and Hagstrom) which are nice enough... But they aren't anything like my Alcivar. It still makes my heart hurt. Maybe I can find another one.
Still hurting over my guitar, Lily
