The neck is straight and sound and the guitar has a lovely mellow sound. Its from the 1960s and there are a few cracks in the varnish but the wood is totally intact and sound. If anyone knows how much this is worth, let me know. I believe it was made in the 60/70's, but it has no serial number, so I can't tell. I recently bought a eko 12 string electric acoustic.
