I have a Mansfield acoustic. I got it from my cousin, I think, years ago. He got it from a relative, too, I think. Looks like an old Ibanez. Says "MADE IN JAPAN" on the back of the headstock. Plays well and sounds good. But it was beat up pretty good. I replaced a missing tuner. And the guitar was splitting in the bottom right. So, not being able to afford $160 to have a luthier fix it, I used a few tuny nails and duct tape. Works fine. It has a nice flat fretboard. Seems to have some slight tuning instability, though. But it has a nice rich tone.
