: hi, have a w-150, bought new in 1980 for $105aust ($115 retail). Cant tell you much about the company except that they probably began with violins and am pretty sure are the same mob responsible for the well known suzuki violin teaching method. The W-150 is a Martin copy, have had several Martin owners quite jealous of its sound. Difficult to say what it could sell for but if it is like mine and stays in tune months on end after 27 years would suggest you would have difficulty replacing the guitar with a new one of similar quality today under $2000! My advice, hang onto it! (can be improved by replacing adjustable bridge with solid bridge resting in bottom of bridge slot)
