As if they were made for the tourist trade - dear lord ha ha.
Whilst not high end in terms of finish, the older ones were mostly all solid wood guitars, built very lightly, and definitely worth giving a bit of love to. Mairantz music centre used to import them to the UK.
Just look at the rosette. You think they'd put that much effort in to a tourist guitar? You can see through the soundhole that it's solid wood by the grain. Yours needs rehydrating. Cut a piece of sponge, wet it, (don't have it dripping) and sit it inside in a coffee jar lid or similar. Repeat a few times until she stops drying the sponge out, and that centre seam crack should close up nicely.
