Anyone have any experience with one of these? Thinking about buying one with a pickup installed. It's from '77, plays well and sounds surprisingly like my Guild D46. It was owned by the guitar shop's luthier and asking price is $600. Any thoughts would be welcome!

Just including a picture so we know what this is about. Those are the "Made in The Netherlands" guitars (made by Egmond) that were produced for Martin.
The Vega V-445 was a dreadnought shaped acoustic guitar. Solid German spruce top in natural finish. Mahogany neck, back and sides East Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge. (it was laminated hog as solid is not mentioned). Kolb enclosed tuning machines. Cost £170.00 new in 1977.
