Best way really is to send and email to Alvarez and ask them when they started producing that model. Also, ask the seller and see if he knows how old the guitar is. As far as the guitar, from the pics it looks like its in great shape, awesome guitar. Alvarez's are good. Plus they have a money back guarentee if you dont like. Really cant ask for much more.

Send them the serial number, they will know what year it was produced.

I don't think it's a good idea to date a guitar... How are you going to have sex? I mean, the strings are in the way.

Alvarez's are great guitars for the money which is why alot of people have them. Their upper end guitars are great deals as well IMO. I bought a Yairi DY-91 last year which are "handmade" and I found it comparable to more expensive Taylors. Althought I would still like a Taylor someday.

Im not a big fan of this type of Alvarez or any kind of Taks for that matter. I wouldnt buy it if I were you but its all up to your own personal preference.
