This is a very nice sounding Crown Professional classical guitar, made in Japan.

Crown guitars were imported to the US by Crown City Imports in Pasadena California.
The company was owned by Jules Steinman and his brother. They originally owned a pawn broker shop called Crown City Loan & Jewelry.

Guitars were often pawned and sold in their shop.They were in a position to observe that there was a huge market for guitars and this was a growing market. At some point they decided that would source there own guitars from Japan and import them. This was the beginning of a new company called Crown City Imports, based on the shop name. The Crown name came from the nickname for the City of Pasadena, which is the "Crown City".

The two brothers went to Japan and visited various musical instruments suppliers and order shipments to be sent back to the US.Crown City imports, imported acoustic and electric guitars, amplifiers and drums from 1966 to 1973. The guitars were supplied from a number of different manufactures in Japan.
