It looks a lot like the vintage Takamine classicals... I did a google search "Vintage Takamine Classical" and looked at some images from 70's era.

The rosette's and tie-block on those are very similar to yours.

I can't tell from your photo's if the top is laminate or not. A good check is to look closely at the edge of the top in the sound-hole.

If you see different coloration's that looks like layers of wood; it's more than likely laminate. If not, you've got a sold top classical

Hope that helps

Dave
