Enjoyed the pictures, including the vintage guitar. Hard to read the name on the headstock. Wondering what brand it is? Bet it's worth some bucks today!

It appears to be a Commodore clone of a Gibson ES-335 semi-hollow body. They were made in Japan for export to the UK. They are on the lower end of the price range today. You could pick one up in the UK for about 200 GBP or 245 USD.

Thanks for the info. From research, it's Commodore N25 Made in Japan 1970s electric acoustic thin body guitar! I was surprised as how cheap they are going for today!
