<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 584512, member: 55"]Yes, laminated.....think plywood, nice on one side, ordinary on the other. You may be able to tell whether the top is also laminated by looking at the edge of the soundhole. It looks pretty well-made, and let's assume the action is OK, and it plays OK. If so, and the top is laminated, I'd think $100 is pushing it. If the top is solid wood - spruce, $100 is a reasonable value, maybe a bit more.</p><p> A great many 12-strings of this quality are going to show significant warping of the neck, and if that is the case, it is probably not worth repairing, though you could ask a luthier for an opinion.</p><p>With guitars, uncommon does not necessarily mean rare, and the online documentation for Korean and Japanese makers is scarce. There are some reference books that list most such makers, however, and include some indication of value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
