Grande guitars were imported into the US and made by Yamaki. I have a small collection of Yamakis. Your Grande is very similar to my Yamaki AY331. Yamakis were only built between 1970-80. Search Yamaki on the net and you'll see the similarity.

I would say that yours is 1973-4 because the truss rod adjustment is on the headstock. Truss rod adjustment moved into the sound hole in 1974. Yours is entry level like my 331 so is likely all laminate. But they are well built, nice sounding guitars.Hope this helps!
