Picked up a 1962 z tatay Spanish guitar stamped on label July 1962 z tatay, New York – guitaras españolas -assume from my reading of all these posts that it was purchased from the NY store not Long Island. The guitar like yours had the added white split flamenco pick guard. Very light guitar with a huge sound- damaged from top base behind bridge with 2 cracks that had been repaired poorly along with the bridge that was poorly reglued. After several weeks of looking at the guitar in an antique center I gave in a purchased it for $250 usd. I have a luthier that had reviews photos and he was able to undo the crappy repair work and redo. The bridge is rosewood and soundboard also, Mahogany rest, tuners looked new and recent. I sank $200 usd all said and done and am thrilled to have a vintage 62 guitar that sounds beautiful! Probably similar to yours Steve!
