Australian made in the 1950's, the Alver series of guitars were made in Maton's Melbourne factory alongside their full range of acoustics. Plenty of vibe in this one, it features a surprisingly resonant laminate construction with a rounded mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard (43mm nut width, 628mm scale length) and weighs just under 2kg's. 40mm lower bout and a 28.5mm upper bout feels nice and comfortable to play.
Good vintage condition as pictured and appears to be all original except for the upgraded intonate-able bridge, the action is reasonable and it plays nicely as it sits with no need for a neck reset any time soon.
