Very nice mahogany top dreadnought.Seems to be a solid top. I don't know where it was made but the "A11" in the other reviews think it was made in Spain. 20 frets. It has a pickup installed...I didn't know this till a few days after I received it,it's a under the saddle type. Fom the research I found it to have been made from 1987-91. Nothing too fancy but I can't stop looking at it!!

I put new strings on it after I got it and it sounds great.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
The action was just about perfect...I think someone did a little work on it. The 1st 2nd and 3rd frets have some wear, I will get them fixed soon.. just a little buzzy at times.
