One of the things about the Japanese acoustics from the early 1970's is that when they made a nice one it was pretty darn nice. This Dove knock-off looks like it could be one of those examples. Not sure why the seller would be using it as a slide guitar - with that big boomy Dreadnought voice - but you'd have to play it to find out. The fit and finish looks decent and if it is (hopefully) a solid Spruce not laminate top then the 40+ years should have served the wood in this guitar well. Take a look:
