Strictly speaking, I didn't buy it. The lady, my wife, was volunteering for the setup of the big annual rummage sale our local Humane Society puts on. Volunteer workers got first chance to buy stuff. She came home with a mostly-plywood dreadnought from one of the big Pacific-rim builders - Ibanez, IIRC. People donating merchandise were supposed to price it themselves, and this had been donated with a marked price of US$5.00 - maybe three Pounds, British? It was very dirty, strings were rusty, etc. One assumes bought by a parent for a child who said they wanted to learn and then never did.

I cleaned it up, changed the strings, adjusted the truss rod, sanded down the saddle a little, and sold it for $75.00 at our yard sale, and we went out to dinner.
