Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
SP Luthier Notes: All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required.
Discover a true gem: the rare, Japanese-crafted 1992 Alvarez Summit 6501 semi-hollow. With very few of these ever made by Alvarez/Yairi, this golden-era investment boasts a striking Koa top and rich mahogany body, delivering warm, vibrant tones that blossom with every chord. Enhanced by recent professional luthier care—frets polished, recrowned, and leveled for supreme playability, and a perfectly adjusted truss rod and bridge—this is far from an "as-is" instrument. It's a rock-solid, finely tuned machine, ready to inspire for years to come. This unique specimen doesn't just play beautifully; it embodies a legacy of craftsmanship, ensuring an absolutely incredible musical experience.
