Body - solid rosewood on the sides and back with a cedar face, also solid peice.
Neck - wide, classical, rosewood
Made - in Japan in the 70's it was a copy of the existing US guitars.
Sound
:

With the nylon strings the sound is a little quiet by a bright sound. The cedar top and rosewood sides resonate well. Gives off wonderful spanish sound.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The action is pretty well placed, it does get slightly hard to play at the 12th fret and above. No problems with the guitar though.

It was made in the 70's and still plays like it is new. i have had no problems with it. After about 30 years laying in a basement and several more years of hard playing it cleaned off with a damp rag and looks beautiful, the finish is still all there. Highly dependable!

None. My advice - DO NOT USE STEEL STRINGS, it will pull up the bridge and ruin the guitar!

This guitar is a beautiful specimen with a great finish and wonderful durability. I have had no problems, other than my stupidity on putting steel strings on it, and the sound quality is great. I would certainly buy it another if possible!!!

I am surprised by the volume. This is a real boomer. Rich full bass with nice clean highs.
