looks identical to mine, which was bought secondhand in 1981, except there are no labels on the back of my headstock. Also the fingerboard shows signs of having had stickers on at some point. There are also dots inlaid on the side of the fingerboard at 5th, 7th, 10th and 12th frets. It has good intonation and a nice tone. Action is easy, can't remember whether my Dad lowered it when it was bought (I've just inherited it). The fingerboard is slightly narrower than most classical guitars and the back of the neck more rounded. The machine heads on the treble side have been replaced by 3 individual ones, and I've just noticed that the machine head plate on the bass side is different from the shape I can still see outlined on the wood on the treble side, so it looks like that has been replaced too. The front of the headstock looks like the older model 70 you have further down the page, but the label is like the newer model. Can you give me an idea of the date?
