Help with ID please
Hello everyone, new here and I hope I can find some help. Bought an (what seems to be) old Alvarez classical guitar off a swap shop on Facebook. This poor old thing looks like it has been ignored for a long time. The label on the inside is gone, and I cannot find a serial number anywhere on it. I can tell you it has what looks like mother of pearl dots on the bridge, the tuning keys look like mother of pearl also. On the headstock the Alvarez label is more like a sticker than being painted on. I don't think it's a fake, at least I hope not. Why would anyone want to fake an Alvarez anyway? The back and sides seem to be mahogany and the top spruce. I have looked all over the internet and have not seen anything that looks like what I have found. The only thing that came close was a MC70. Any ideas?
Will try to post pics soon. Thanks

pictures aren't posting for me, maybe you need to post pictures again.
If you don't have serial or any info on the guitar you won't know for sure, there are so many alvarez models, it wouldn't benefit you anyway.

Can't help with ID at this point, but mother of pearl dots on a bridge usually are there to cover screw heads. The bridge is probably screwed on to the top, a technique used in cheaper guitars. If you remove the dots (which I'm not recommending!), you will probably see screw heads.
