I played one a couple of years ago when it came up for sale locally. Workmanship was nice but I was not overly impressed with the tone. I could not find much info on these at the time and really never knew the back wood for sure.
The seller was asking $500 and to me it was worth $300 or so.
I started a thread at the time
