Today Lawman Guitars is Presenting...
A beautiful 1971 Lawsuit Alvarez Dove Flattop Model Number 5024 Acoustic Guitar in Natural Finish.
We were able to date this beauty to 4/12/1971 from the Alvarez Label still inside the sound hole. See pics 5 and 6... This is the second Alvarez Dove we have found. The last sold 5 yrs ago. Very high quality out of Japan. These guitars were made by Yairi starting in 1970. They made these guitar strictly for export to the USA...
Here's some info on this awesome guitar brand...
Alvarez & Yairi in the USA
Kornblum and Kazuo Yairi spent years designing, testing and tweaking their steel-string instruments to perfection. The first Alvarez Yairi guitars came to USA in 1970, and were a massive hit. It seemed the market was looking for an alternative to the old-guard names of the industry, and the reputation of Japanese manufacture and attention to detail was a winner.
The momentum of the brand only grew when their guitars were brandished by some of the biggest names in the business. The Grateful Dead, Paul McCartney, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Steve Winwood, Johnny Cash - to name a few. Good company, right?
This guitar has a dead straight neck, working truss rod and is set up great. No sore fingers with this one..Very nice low action...New strings and ready to go..
The only think not original is the replace adjustable bridge with a fixed bridge for great sustain. This was done a lot on metal adjustable bridge guitars. It was done by a previous owner. We left it alone. A great job by a skilled luthier with a bone saddle. Plenty of room to lower one day when it's needed.
These are very cool and pretty rare. The even made some re-issues of these for a few years. This is not a re-issue but the real deal! Second year of production for Alverez.
These cool Alvarez guitars are extremely well made...2 Piece Solid Spruce Top, Mahogany back and sides, AND.... they are X Braced...What a great sound from this guitar. Only superficial dings and scratches that do not affect playability or it's great looks!
All original Tuners, Nut, Pickguard, Truss Rod cover, Frets, and Bridge. The adjustable saddle was replaced. The Pickguard on this guitar is perfect and not a crack or broken tip on it...most are broken up..Not this one! See pics.
The Original case is really nice like the guitar... Great Red Plush Deluxe interior. Fits the guitar perfectly... Even the accessory box lid is there. Original and functioning hinges, latches and handle.
Sold as is no returns as its vintage. Thanks for respecting that.
