Notes

My very first guitar ever...
I got her in the late sixties (I was a kid!) from my father (who got her, already used, from his father in law).
No clues, no sticker, nothing. But apparently a lot of those in the sixties. I saw one recently (september 2008), exactly the same as mine, for sale in a music shop: 500 euros! (thanks to the manouche fashion in France).
The two first pics here show the guitar after a first sanding, then after a first renovation...
