Suzuki Model 80 You might want to contact that dealer for more info. Doesn't look like it's in bad shape for its age. Low price too, and all solid woods (maybe).

I picked one up locally, and it really sounds good. Very light weight and responsive. The top is certainly solid cedar, with 5 fan braces. I'm fairly certain that the back and sides are laminated, however the grain match between the two sides of the back is very close - close enough to raise a suspicion that it may actually be solid. I can't tell what the back and side wood is, not really a Rosewood, I think perhaps Ovankol. The fretboard is rosewood. The binding has a wood grain pattern, leading me to believe it is a sort of very plain dark wood. Overall, a really nice sounding guitar.
I am amazed at how little info is available online for these older Japanese instruments. Even with Yairi and the larger brands, information is very spotty. When looking at one of these, you really need to do your own due diligence.
