Default Guitar Identification

Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a classical guitar from an auction and wondered if anyone knew who the maker was, I cannot make out the signature on the label apart from the date which is August Eleven 1975, its sounds nice and has a low action, just wondered if it was a vintage Japanese classical Guitar.











Thanks,

Andrew

The label is handmade and overtop another label. There's nothing about the writing and the inexact border that is Japanese. I wonder what that side wood is.

Doesn't look Japanese to me. It looks Swedish (such as Goya or Levin) or perhaps German.

I would be tempted to attempt a look at the original label.
The side wood could be maple.
