1977 Alvarez-Yairi DY74 Value

[btaylor]

What value would you place on a 1977 Alvarez-Yairi DY74? I haven’t seen one of this model for sale in at least a couple of months. It’s in good condition for a 40 year old guitar. Sounds great, has a K&K with volume control. Has upgraded wood pickguard from the factory. Also has original hard shell case that is beat up, but functional. Very cool vintage guitar.

Reverb.com does not list a price range for that particular model, but similar Alvarez-Yairi models go for $400-$800.

I have a 79. I've got not quite $700 in it. Best guitar-related $700 I've spent to date.

I'd say $500 or so. It's a buyer's market these days.

I wish it were more, since I've got one too!
