My term for such instruments is "beach guitars" which you don't much care if you wake up around the campfire on the beach to find the top covered in condensation. My candidate is a '72 Yamaki cedar top which, for over 20 years was a sweet-voiced, playable guitar. Unfortunately, it wasn't a keeper--the top cracked in several places, critically along the neck. Thing is, it's still roughly playable, and servicable for such occasions.
