This is an acoustic guitar made in about 1980(ish). It was the first "quality" guitar that I ever owned. Made in Japan it has 20 fret but the last five are difficult to reach because of the body shape.

Body and neck woods? (Maple, Mahogany, Alder, Ash, Basswood, Koa, Plywood, etc...)
Finish (Satin, transparent, quilted top, flamed top, etc...)
Body style (strat, tele, dreadnought, cutaway, thinline, etc...)
Bridge style (Tune-O-Matic, Floyd Rose, Wilkinson, Tele-style, String-thru body,
stop tailpiece, etc...)
Tuners (Locking? Non-locking? brand of tuners - Sperzel, Gotoh, Grover, Schaller, etc...)
Neck/Scale (Fat, Thin, Jumbo Frets, Rosewood, Maple, etc...)


Sound : 10
Suits blues, country and folk - not too hot for rock. Has a very bright sound when finger picking but also a good smooth sound when strummed.

Action, Fit, & Finish : No Opinion
Production quality was very good. Bought in perfect condition.

Reliability/Durability : No Opinion
Very solid guitar,

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never needed any

Overall Rating : 10
This guitar has been played on and off for 22 years, I've bought and sold lots of other gear in that time (curently I don't own anything else but one day I may buy another electric)! The weird thing is: I still love playing it, I wouldn't swap it for anything less than a very large sum of money (everyone has their price).

This guitar was made in 1980 & was made in Japan. I would tell you All of the electronics, but it's an acoustic guitar. It has a vintage finish with a pickguard stuck on to it (as in most acoustics). There are 20 frets, and they are maked with dots on the front and the side.

Sound : 10
This guitar sounds great! It is very loud for how hard you pluck, but that is great for me since I prefer not to use a pick. The harmonics are incredable. It has a very vintage sound to it (hence it's name "Vintage"). It is very blusey, (My style)

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
Everything about the guitar was great except the tuner for the G string slips alot. The action is kind of low, but I learned how to play on it so i'm used to the height of it.

Reliability/Durability : 10
This guitar would need to be hit with a sledge hammer to break it. Like I've said I learned to play on it, so it got smacked around alot (I was 9 when I started to play, you do the math). IT's also 19 years old and people still want to know if I bought it new. It has benn banged into other guitars, dropped, and had a belt buckle bihind it for quite some time and it still had barley scrached, let alone chiped!

Customer Support : No Opinion
I have never needed to use it.

Overall Rating : 10
Ive been playing for over 6 years and It is still the best acoustic I've seen (I'm not just saying this because I own it!). The only reason my mom gave it to me was because she needed to be able to plaug into an amp, and she didn't like the "Dean Markely" pickup getting in the way of the hole, so she got an acoustic/electric and I begged it off of her. If it were stolen, I would hurt the person who took it. If it were lost I would spend the rest of my life (at least a month) looking for it. I love the finish (I'm buying a Les Paul electric soon andd I'm planing on getting the same type of finish). Overall If you are thinking about getting an acoustic, and you can find some poor fellow who desperatly needs the money (they don't make them any more) I would recomend buying it in a heartbeat.
