I haven't a clue of when this was made, but it was made in Japan. 21 fret, 6 string acoustic dreadnought. Its a laminated top, and I don't know what the woods are...so I guess I'm a big help in that area. It has a very awesome sunburst top, looks really good. The tuners are in great condition. When in tune it stays in tune, unless you have a little brother who like to mess with it when you aren't around. The neck isn't thin, but it isn't fat either. It's just right for me. I got this for christmas and I don't know where they got it, so i got nada with it, just the guitar. It has a few knicks and scratches, but i believe 99.9% of those are just from me being irresponsible.
Sound

I play a lot of contemporary christian music, esspecially for my church. It seems to do the job very well. It doesn't have a pick-up so I have to use one that goes over the sound hole. I run that through the system at the church and it beaustiful. It even seems better not plugged-in. When I capo 1st fret, that's when I have a little buzzing, but when that is fixed it's awesome! It has a very smooth rich sound. Everbody I know loves it and has even compared to being just as good as some Gibsons they have. I really don't dislike anything about it, I'll get over the 1st fret problem.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Action is very low and doesn't produce any buzzing. When I received this guitar it looked mint condition. I have no problems except for the knicks I've slashed into it. Shame on me!I take it back, the G string tuner is a lil tight and can't really tune it right, takes more time to tune than it should, but when I get it tuned its good for a good lonf while.
Reliability/Durability

I've played live with this guitar without a back-up time and time again. Everything seems like it will last a long time from now, it's built like a tank. The finish actually might be a lil too thick, but not enough to where you can tell. Strap buttons are in and in to stay. I give this guitar my total trust on any gig.

I've been playing for almost 2 years, and I own 2 more guitars, but they aren't worth mentioning. If it were stolen or lost, I doubt I would ever find another one, but if I did, I would. I love everything about it and I just love the sound the most, very nice dude. I wish it had a puck-up inside, but such a little thing to me. A great and valuable guitar in my opinion.
