1992 Guitar of The Year

In 1992 Dana Sutcliffe and his partner were awarded a US utility patent for the Guitars functional cutaway design.

The Alvarez Dana Scoop is starting to appear in guitar history books.

The original prototype looked identical to the first production models except it had a reverse headstock and a steeper angle to the neck joint.

The President of St. Louis Music (Alvarez is a division of St. Louis Music) had the creative vision to bring the product to the market place.

The Alvarez product manager gave the guitar its name "The Scoop" after the instruments radical cutaway. The original name was the "Gash Guitar".

Patent Pending production of the guitar was started in January of 1991. Two of the instruments had maple necks and rosewood fingerboards. All the bodies were made of sugar maple and featured Floyd Rose Licensed tremolos. The electronics featured two Dana designed pickups in a hum bucking single coil configuration. These ran in series with Dana's Harmonic Enhancer electronics. Each instrument has one Volume and one Enhancer control.

In 1992 the Alvarez Dana Scoop was voted "Guitar of Year" by Music and Sound Retailer Magazine. This coveted industry award is presented yearly during the Winter NAMM Show.

The LA and Nashville Scoops were designed to conform to a more conservative guitar buying public. The smaller size Scoop was to accommodate the larger body mass. Even though the patent was granted on the basis of having improved access to the strings at the base of the neck. The true function of the Scoop was that it improved the instruments sustain and resonance properties. It eliminated phase cancellation between the neck and body resonance. The guitar body size determined the size of the Scoop.
