Anyone have any experience with 'Bravo' guitars?

I've got someone wanting to trade me a Bravo classical guitar for a soft gig bag I have! That obviously tells me something about the quality of the guitar. But I am curious as I've never owned a classical guitar.

I'll try to attach a pic he sent..

here's the back of it..

Benedetto makes a "Bravo" - but that ain't it!

Al:

Regardless of the quality of the guitar, if you do make the trade, you could most likely sell the guitar for more than the soft gig bag...

Al, a look inside at the 'tag' could tell us more, or not. Like model number, and if 'Bravo' is a model name/ number for a particular manufacturer.

All I find under "Bravo" and several subcategories is one, a "LoneStar" (from Canada) manufactured 6string nylon which looks nothing like the ones in the pics. Sold on the net at a 'LawEnforcment" type auction for like $80us.

Outside of that, nothing. I guess it comes down to the +/- EV (Expected Value). Is the case worth like $20 new and then the resale value would be say, $10 - then is the Bravo worth $10? (and so on)

Jason has a point but as for what I use, I'm not interested in trying to sell something like that, probably would end up giving it to a kid or someone if it turned out to be a 'sour note' thing for myself!

You have to hold it in your arms and tickle its strings Al... then you'll know!

Do you use the gig bag? Would you use the classical guitar if you had it?

Turns out it's a BC-20 3/4 sized guitar.
I might grab it for a beater.. or to give to someone else down the road.


Anyway, thanks for your replies.

happy friday!!
