Here for sale is a Citation CIT5000 Acoustic Guitar.  Dreadnought with a Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides.  Made in Japan in the 1970s.  

I have to be honest, I can't find too much about these guitars online.  I have found a few that sold, but none in the last few years.  I can tell you that it is one of the most well made Japanese acoustic guitars I have seen from the era.  The bridge is adjustable, so the action is super low and comfortable.  The sound is large and rounded; full bodied.  An amazingly crafted acoustic guitar. 

The only issue it had was the bridge dried out and cracked along the pin holes, but I have filled it and sealed it with wood filler and glue, then oiled the bridge so it won't happen again.  Strong as new now. Everything else is in near pristine condition.  As always, I oiled the board, polished the finish, changed the strings and tweaked set up.  Really an amazing vintage acoustic at a rock bottom price.  Would be great around a campfire or on the main stage.  Seriously a vintage guitar with modern playability.
