This is a super interesting guitar. It's branded Penncrest, which was JC Penney's house brand, but unlike many of the era which were made by Kay, this is indisputably an Egmond guitar as indicated by the Made In Holland stamp and Egmond's unique screw/spring neck attachment system.

I'm a huge fan of this neat neck attachment, which makes adjusting the action and maintaining excellent neck angle as simple as turning a screw. Others have removed the spring and use shims, which works great too and arguably improves sound.

I've seen a lot of Egmond guitars with this style neck attachment, but this is the first dreadnought. All birch top, sides, and body.

This example is in great shape, playing beautifully with nice low action. Very solid structurally, very nice cosmetically, the finish has some checking but is in really good shape. Come give it a look!
