Rebuilt unknown model Alvarez

[Rick Weaver]

   I came across some tools and wood for sale where I bought an under-repair body and a new neck for an Alvarez guitar.  The model number is illegible, the serial # is 18177.  I had to rebuild the dovetail in the neck block with thin strips of mahogany then sand, then refit the neck.  The top had some scars and stains from previous repair work. The sunburst was done to cover these. New ebony finger board and bridge, new frets,new tuners, new bone saddle and nut,  finish on top and polish all over.  I purposely left the finish a little rough, keeps it looking it's age. This guitar sounds really good, plays well and has a very warm and rich treble tone.
