Alvarez Guitars / 5024 Dove Replica / 1977 / Natural Finish / Guitar
This c.1977 Alvarez model 5024 is a nice copy of a Gibson Dove. Its spruce top & beautiful grainy cherry back & sides are quite clean & free from any major wear. It matches the late-’70s Dove specs really nicely: square shoulders, the 3-point pickgard with its signature pearl Dove inlay, double parallelogram fingerboard inlays, elaborate bridge with tune-o-matic style saddle, 25-1/2″ scale, natural top finish and cherry back/sides, etc. But on the inside, its bracing matches the traditional single X-bracing pattern with tone bars, instead of the double x-bracing Gibson used in the mid-60s. There’s a reason double x-bracing isn’t a thing these days: it severely restrains the tone. Because of that, many players familiar with the Alvarez 5024 find their tone can be more open and superior to their Kalamazoo-made counterparts. Its quite exceptional overall & comes in its original brown tolex hard case.
