Hi Everyone, I've read different accounts of the the Alvarez A800 I have, some places say it is solid back and sides and some say it's just got a solid top. Doesn't anyone know for sure, or can direct me to where I might be able to find out?
Thanks,
Ryan

Here (http://www.alvarezgtr.com/productpage.htm?CatID=44) is a link to the alvarez website. i think the A800's they were refering too as all-solid wood were the one's made in the 70's and early 80's with the alvarez handmade branded on the inside of the mando. the older ones had a dark color finish and a double alvarez A on the headstock, with really fancy abalone all around it. hope that helps

The sides of my recent A800 clearly are not solid. I can't tell about the back.
