    Logo looks vaguely familiar.. but can't place it.. looks well made.. I would think it's worth to be much more than what they are asking.. also looks more like an octave

    MusicGoRound lists stuff online but won't let you buy it online for 30 days, to give local buyers first dibs. Sometimes they forget to switch something over to online sales. Very frustrating.

    My first thought was Irvin Guitars. The logo is very similar, but it is different enough that it is noticeable and I don't think Wayne Johnson (Irvin) every made an Emando, but you never know.

    Indeed, this is probably more of a 4-string OM or tenor guitar.

    I emailed Irvin Guitars and it is not one of their instruments. Wayne said he would try to ID it too. It is a very nicely built instrument. 18" scale and looks almost unplayed. I believe it is a mahogany body and walnut top. Good hardware on it and very nice, clean workmanship. A kid in the store broke a string on it and I have yet to plug it in, but I think with a set of strings and minimal setup work it may be a very cool instrument.
