Thanks! I thought I remembered purchasing it in the 70s. She still sounds great. As it did when it was new. Great guitar! Here she is… still looks great!

My brother had a Madeira six string. That’s why I mentioned that. Not sure if he still has it, he purchased it the same year I got my 12 string here.
