Last pic is from a listing on reverb not my guitar but for pricing

It??s a killer guitar, with passive electronics, I believe it to be a 1985, there is some mild wear on the top of the headstock from sitting with a cleaning rag, otherwise she??s pretty clean!! Great action tone and very easy on the eyes

Vintage 1976 Alvarez model 5024 "Dove" Acoustic Guitar with Case. It was made in Japan and can use some TLC.

The original tuners have been swapped out with Grovers (see pics), the pick guard needs attention / re-glued and the bridge was screwed down (see pics) at some point so it needs attention / repair as well.

There is a hole on the side where I assume an output jack was once mounted and there is a threaded hole next to the guitar strap button. I assume the... more

This is a beautiful vintage Alvarez case that is thinner than the average acoustic guitar case. It??s only 4 inches wide when shut. I??m assuming that it is intended for use with an electric guitar or a thin line acoustic guitar. It is rare as there are no other ones that I can find anywhere. All original and all fasteners work as they should. Check pics for measurements to ensure fitment
