View Original Thread: What's a Yairi/Alvarez DY52 worth?   PTC Bernie Thanks, but decided to pass on it. B Hi All! My first post here, so be kind if I do something I shouldn't. I'm looking at buying a 1981 Alvarez DY52. But it's a bit of a custom job, cedar top rather than spruce. As far as I can tell the rest of it is typical Dy52. It's in excellent shape, been a closet dweller for a number of years. My question is, How do I come up with fair market value for this instrument? I have a copy of Blue Book for Acoustic Guitars on the way, but, again, this is a custom built instrument. Any ideas? Thanks, Bernie
