You made me want to post a photo of mine. a 1982 Ibanez GAF50.

Nice! It looks pretty sweet, a flamenco guitar is it? Cypress backside it looks like.

It is indeed a flamenco. But I think its very usable for classical. IT doesn't have that bright treble you easily get with flamenco. Perhaps its a bit over-engineered for flamenco!

I believe the woods used are as follows:

Top: Cedar
Back and sides: Spruce (This makes sense as the wood is very similar to by Bosendorfer's soundboard which is spruce)
Fingerboard and Bridge: Rosewood
Neck: Mahogany

The front. Excuse the sad broken string!
