Valencia branded and 3/4 size (a bit smaller on the neck 'feel' and body size), but VERY decent. The NuBone saddle is compensated and that alone is enough to attract attention and is on the sticker on the bridge (NuBone is from Graph-Tech and much like bone). The guitar was hardly used and never set up well, so you can get a smaller classical with very 'OK' tuners (cleaned and lubricated and smoothed). 

It is not 'perfect' and it is a used guitar... but the frets are not worn down and they are also not top-notch steel as an American classical might be (think Cordoba or Kenny Hill, etc.) , but as a smaller classical guitar it is good enough! I measure 42MM at the nut for the fretboard width (slightly narrower and more shallow depth than a full-size classical guitar). 49 - 52 MM nut width is fairly ordinary for a full size classical guitar ...

It was built in China, don't forget.

I had an early Rodriguez classical ...all solid with spruce over Brazilian rosewood...  (he made Marija Temo's concert guitar years ago), so I learned to play on a fine early builder's classical with the best of everything.

But now... they are NOT affordable for me at nearly $5000-6000, new. Sometimes 'good enough' is all we want to get and this Valencia is just that!  No discounts and haggling over the price. My feedback tells the story and as a used 3/4 size classical, this one is hard to beat for the cost and the action is all set for you. The fret 12 string/fret-top gap is just over 3MM and the '3rd fret test is very low...
I see no damage or breakage on anything at all... 

Yamaha made better classicals but you pay for that ! So here is 'good enough' for most fellows who can or want to play real classical guitar... A narrower fretboard and smaller neck makes a 3/4 size one feel different from a regular classical.  
Greensleeves is nearly 500 years old and sounds great on a classical and is easy to play. And there are a lot of very nice Renaissance pieces to learn if you can read  music. Consider 'The Cobbler' and 'the Alman' by Robert Johnson as nice ones.
