cant decide on acoustic guitar

classical guitar circa 90's. It's actually a jasmine not a takamine to be pedantic. It was their bargain brand, not that it always matters. It looks like a mahogany back, either that or cedar. It has without a doubt dried out, you can see where the glue holding the label has dried enough to loose its stickiness, get a guitar hydrometer to make sure it has not dried out too much or it may crack the back or top. You can see glue on the brace, something higher end guitars dont have as they would take care not to have enough for it to stick out like that, or at least to wipe it off as glue is really dense and too much of it can kill a guitar from resonating. I am not arguing that your guitar does not sound great, only that a Martin treated well will sound better in almost any situation except for that actual one in a million guitar. Someone getting that is well, one in a million. More pictures and I can give more information.
