Well, you're getting there. :lol: But it's awfully fuzzy.
What we're interested in is the origin of manufacture (looks to be Japan?), the serial number on the label, and there should also be a number on the the cross bracing in side the sound hole like this one on mine: http://www.matsumoku.org/ggboard/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5927&start=120#p40941

We don't have a lot of information om the acoustics, especially the dating, so anything you can contribute is welcome.

Try using the "Macro" setting on your camera, often displayed with an icon of a flower.

There you go, perfect! :up:
It's only speculation at this point but the first two numbers appear to represent the year of manufacture on these guitars. So yours may have been made in 1982.

Thanks for making the effort!
