Alvarez 5058 nine string

by R. E. Jenkins
(Illinois)

I bought this guitar brand new in 1981. My wife didn't know I could play until we walked into a the music store and I picked one off the wall and tuned'er up!!! I walked out of the store with a birthday present. I still have it and last year I played in public for the first time in over forty years!!! IT WAS A BLAST!!! What I would like to know is what is it worth NOW? I payed around $400 for it at the time.

Hi, R.E.--

This guitar is not listed in the Book, but I did find some information indicating that they are selling for $650-$800, depending on the condition.
