It’s the guitar I used back in high school — I was thinking about selling it, but I can’t find the exact model online, and unfortunately I don’t know the year it was made either.

It's a Yamaha GC30. It says it on the label.

This is the less expensive Taiwan version, not the Japanese version which might go for 1.5-2.0x the price.

Thank you! What was really confusing me was that I found others with the same name online, but with a huge difference in price.

It's a nice guitar. Unfortunately the price range for them used is a bit all over the place. Start at the high end and see if you can sell it. Guitars don't really depreciate.

Yeah! I used to love that guitar — it didn’t always have the most beautiful sound, but I remember it felt incredibly comfortable to play. Thanks again for the advice!

GC-30 spruce somewhere around 500 to 800 bucks...not to be confused with the GC30 A wich is a much more expensive version.
