Hardwood Fretboard
Does anyone have information on Troubador 12-string japanese made guitar?

I am trying to identify a japanese made guitar.It is a 12-string dreadnought body with chrome trapeze type tailpiece,floating bridge and ladder type tuning peg arrangement.The body appears to be laminated mahogany sides with spruce top.The neck appears to be mahogany with a very dark hardwood fretboard.It has a screw on tortoise shell scratchplate and screw on truss rod cover.There are no identifying marks apart from an image of a flying eagle on the bottom corner of the soundboard.Possibly 60s or early 70s.It has a small tin nameplate on headstock which says Troubador.

Your best bet is to contact a vintage shop like Mandolin Brothers or Elderly Instruments. Maybe they can help you.
