Made in Western Germany by Franz Dotzauer company. A five generation luthier family. Not sure what year but the "made in Western Germany" label was used between 1950 to 1990. I'm guessing 70s 0r 80s. All solid wood. Spruce top and flamed Maple back and side with a multi layer laminated neck center section. Beautiful wood inlay beading around edge. mother of pearl inlaid pick guard. A few small dings but overall in wonderful condition. 13 inch scale length. New Earnie Ball strings. No case.
