5/11/08 I have an Alvarez 6 string acoustic Model 5023 the label shows 1 2 75 I bought it used in mid 70's. Still plays looks and sounds great. I don't know where to find the serial #. What's it worth?

: Mine is in bad condition (lots of dings) and I had it appraised at $300.00. It sounds much better than most $800.00 guitars out there now, but it appears that the old Alvarez line (5023s etc.) aren't drawing much more than $200.00 in the used guitar market right now.

These are all laminate guitars, from the 1970's and most sell for less than $150. depending on condition.

Re: Alvarez Guitar - Model 5023
I own it. The Model 5023 sells for $100 or less in Tucson AZ. A good travel guitar but not a Pro instrument. It has a smaller body and not that loud. Tone fair, mostly mid to high, not much bass. But I have banged it around camping and it has quality construction. I like the small fast neck too. Not a bad little guitar for the money.
