    No interest in owning it but I am very curious about how it sounds. That inside sound board and all.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    The entire staff
    funny....

    Sound holes on the bottom look Portugese. The headstock screams European. I don't think it's from the USA. Interesting though.

    Sorry I just meant it's on USA ebay, sold by a seller from there.
