Barclay Acoustic Guitar
I am seeking help, advice, information regarding a 'Barclay' guitar that I recently purchased as a second hand item. It is seemingly very difficult to obtain any information on the 'Barclay' brand, and so far have only found relative information on the 'Harmony' brand which apparently produces some of the 'Barclay' guitars under the same specifications (or vice versa ..??). However, after researching, the particular model I have seems to have no relation in the 'Harmony' brand, and so I must seek information specifically relating to 'Barclay'.
The guitar's main body appears to be the same shape and size as a modern 3/4 size classical guitar, and also has a Bridge which is familiar as a Nylon String bridge where the strings are looped and tied through the bridge. However, the tuning pegs are a steel (or metal) construction, rather than plastic or bone and are generally used on Steel String Guitars, the guitar body also has been fitted with a scratch plate, as is used on Steel String guitars, and the Neck is Steel Reinforced, which also suggests that the guitar may be designed as a Steel String.
The guitar seems to be constructed with a Spruce top, possibly Rosewood back and sides, with what appears to be a Maple Neck and Headstock.
Inside on the back is stamped very simply '9121', ... with also a label with 'Barclay Guitars', 'Japan', and another reference number '301 S'.
I am seeking any information regarding this specific model, concerning construction materials, year of manufacture, peculiarities, etc.
Thank You.
