If it is like others I have heard than I know it to be good. Sadly, I am not in need now. I'll pass the word.

Hard shell case included that fits like a glove. Really a handsome guitar with great sound quality for the price. If interested email me at hymell@comcast.net.

Could you please post a photo of the soundhole label? Also, What wood is used for the neck and fingerboard.
Are the back, sides, and top solid wood or laminate? Thanks.

Did you know these were assembled in Japan designed by spanish makers through Sherry Brener? Quite a story behind them.

by: Lin

Yes, that much is clear from the label. Spanish makers provided the design and materials, with assembly in Japan. That may not be a common pattern, but there are excellent guitar makers in Japan, which has a long tradition of fine woodworking. The workmanship on this guitar is excellent for its price range.

by: David

$2000 for a factory made guitar with laminated rosewood back and sides is way too much. You can get a handmade guitar for a better luthier from Paracho for less than that. I have a Dauphin guitar, laminated Brazilian rosewood back and sides that sounds awesome. Paid $550 in 1985. You can get one used for less on ebay or Craigslist.

by: Lin

David, I appreciate your comment, but I paid $500 for this guitar in 1975, and that's $2000 in today's money. It's in nearly new condition, plus it has several upgrades, including new $200 tuners, bone saddle, and lower action. It sounds and plays better than it did when new. $2000 is the asking price.
