I just got this and am having a lot of fun with it!
Really great quality and sound. Not a strumming guitar although it's fine for that(my new Yamaha is better) but a great fingerpicking guitar.
I really got lucky here. $150 in case!

Dlmorley:

Congrats. You've acquired the top of the line and rarest Ragtime models. It has a solid spruce top which was rare in the late '70s and early '80s. The other pictures really show off the tone chamber in the sound hole. I've read about it, but this is the first time I've seen it. I'm still wondering about it. :-)

$150.00 with case is making me very jealous! :-)

thanks for the info!
I am very pleased. I was lucky that it was a collection only in Belgium, where I live, so limited the amount of interest.
I cleaned it up and put new strings on last night and it sounds wonderful now. I'll update the photos on the link.
