VINTAGE Alvarez 5023 Dreadnaught Acoustic Guitar, w/ Chipboard Case, Made in Japan

This vintage Japanese-made Alvarez 5023 is a nicely preserved dreadnought with a comfortable setup and the kind of honest cosmetic wear you expect from an older guitar that has actually been played. The action is notably low and comfortable, making this a particularly appealing example for someone who wants a vintage Alvarez as a player rather than a display piece.

Key Features

• Made in Japan during Alvarez’s earlier production era, giving this guitar the construction and character associated with the brand’s vintage Japanese instruments.

• Dreadnought body shape provides the familiar full-size feel, projection, and low-end presence suited to strumming and flatpicking.

• Comfortably low action makes this example easy to play without the high setup often encountered on older acoustics.

• Period-correct chipboard case is included and complements the guitar nicely as a vintage package.

Condition

B condition. There are a couple of small dings on the top along with normal play wear, some pink paint transfer along the bottom, and incidental belt-buckle scratches on the back. There are no major flaws, and the guitar has a nice low playing action. The included chipboard case is period correct.

A great choice for someone who wants a clean, playable vintage Japanese Alvarez with plenty of character and its period-correct case included.

Cool gear at a great price, backed by our meticulous care.
