I don't need one, but I got a little $$ sitting around and I've always wanted an alvarez and I've always wanted a cutaway acoustic/electric

i would say nay...it doesnt look in very good condition.
no strings on so the neck has probably warped already...i wouldn't do it

That guitar looks like a fake imitation. I thought Alvarez guitars were made in Korea. The bottom left corner of the label looks like it says "Made in China". From the description, the seller put some strings on it to "test the sound" but is selling it with out strings??? What the hell. Couldn't he just leave some old strings on it? He won't even put a 9V battery in. They're like $1.50. Give me a break.

Go the the music store and buy an alvarez after you've played it, or buy it from someone you can trust.

idk....i wouldnt buy a guitar without playing it, and without strings the tension on the neck is prolly tweaked a bit...its up to you

Man I'd go for a Taylor 100 Series in lieu of the Alvarez. They're more consistent. Alvarez varies between great and vomit.

I would never buy a guitar from Ebay!.... sounds like a good deal but somethings fishy about it!... why would he string it up play it to "check if it sounds good" then take the perfectly good strings off!?... i dont get some people if your gonna lie make it believable...
