I put new strings on it last night and plugged it in, and... IT ROCKS!!! It sounds great!!! It needs a minor neck adjustment, but besides that, it's awesome. I also spoke with my neighbor who sold it to me for $20 today and she said the guitar was given to her by someone who had just had it stored in the garage for probably 30 years. It hasn't even been played in probably 30 years. The shop owner who I bought the strings from offered me $250 for it on the spot. Crazy.
Anyway, I'm still curious to know who manufactured it and when, so thanks for looking!!!
