The Esteve guitar factory makes good guitars for the money but this price suggests that it might have been made in China for the Esteve Company.

Manuel Adalid, one of the principles of the Company may have had some decision making in this ideal.

Perhaps you could ask the person selling this guitar, if the wooden sides and back are solid or laminate........same for the top wood.

Thanks for your reply and attention. Also, I sent an e-mail to Esteve Guitars, and they responded very quickly. They are so kind and interested. When we finalized the correspondence, I will write here about the result. But they specifically mentioned a point, they have never build a single guitar out of their workshop in Valencia, Spain and they are proud of that too.

Then it's probably a good idea to ask them if the wood is solid or laminate and what a new guitar of that model would cost, as the cost you displayed seems quite low.
