Hello
Bought this at a local pawn shop because it sounded good and the price was what I thought was a heck of a deal. Has the original case and is in very good condition. I believe it has a solid top and laminated back and sides. It is really loud with a great chop. Brought it home and adjusted the bridge and put new strings on it and it plays great up and down the neck.
I've been jamming with people before and seen Alvarez mandolins before, but I have never seen one with "The Alvarez" on the headstock before. I'm thinking it is late 70's but I'm not sure. I thought it was worth the gamble to buy it and I'm glad I did.
