I bought this guitar in 1974, San Diego Cal. Made in Japan. 20 frets, solid top (I beleive Spruce. I'm not much on tonewoods but I think the back and sides are rosewood. dreadnought. I had the old bridge replaced In '94 because it developed a crack all the way across the back of the tuning pegs. also I had installed a Fishman under the saddle pickup with a custon made Martin type bridge.
Sound
:
6
The sound is full and even I play alot of classic acoustic rock. I haven't played it out in a long time as I use a GB-seven C takamine for my shows with onboard electronics. thought I have driven the wife crazy playing it thur my PA in the house thru a BOSS AD-3 acoustic intrument processor it does sound pretty full.
