Made in Spain, not sure of the year. 19 silverplated frets. Great for the classical playing it was built for, but that does limit it a good deal. You can only actualy get to the 12th fret, so the last few are usless. Tuning pegs are really great, and it stays in tune great.

This was my first guitar and i wasen't sure what i wanted before i got it. Now that i've been playing for quite a while and have had a good deal of experience with other guitars, i really wouldn't recomend it if you're either looking for a first guitar or any other then classical. However, it is really great for it's price if you are looking for that rich finger picked classic sound. Really full and nice, thanks to the solid piece. Really quite incredible for it's price.

I haven't had the action adjusted yet, but I should. It's pretty high up there, but if you're used to playing a classic you shouldn't mind or notice even really.
Reliability/Durability

Although it is a comparably fragile guitar and wouldn't take much damage, it is of great quality will last as long as you want it to. If you don't live in a humid climate though, you're gonna want a humidifier for that solid top or it'll surly split. So as long you're not trashing around at your show, don't worry about it breaking down on you. I would definatly use it without backup at an unplugged show.

I don't think you can really get a better classical guitar for the price. I would definatly pick one up again if this one were ever lost.
