Did you, by chance, buy this new from Jenkin's Music in Tulsa in the 50's? And, did you take lessons from Dick Gordon?

Larry - can you believe that I bought a Console Grande from Jenkens Music and took lessons from Dick Gordon in 1950.

It is amazing that he is still teaching.

I love mine and these beauties are getting scarce. Someone should grab this one as "an estate guitar".
