Made in Taiwan
I am unable to say what kind of wood it is.
20 frets, 6 strings (so far so good)
I think it's just about anything.

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, the instrument is light.
Access to acute is difficult because it does not have cutaway, however this is not a guitar shredding and purely personal I rarely enter into agreements with Major 7emeSus 17th fret ...

SOUNDS

Ah! Here is something really interesting: SOUND
When my uncle gave me (yes I know I said my life) she had the original strings, ie strings of 31 years ago back (true), the sound was not necessarily top.
But once past replaced by "Martin SP Phosphor Bronze Light 11/52" sound is an incomparable deep, serious stand beautifully at the expense of highs that are more discreet alas.
To remedy this, I use a pick Teckpick metal. From then on, the sound is both deep and brilliant and so awesome!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years now and it always amazes me, the sound is a rare wealth.
I tried many other guitars since (the latest models from Yamaha, Takamine, Cort, Gibson himself) and is not, I prefer the good old Yamaha. The only folk guitars which I think are at least as interesting are the Lag Tramontane.
I do not know how much is this guitar because it is no longer for some decades now, but I think it is listed about 400 € on argus.
