Frank, it's a Del Vecchio from Brazil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_Vecchio_(guitar_maker)
Most likely one of the Dinâmico guitars. John told me it's an antique. It's certainly really well used; half of the soundhole grills are missing or caved in. They used gorgeous Brazilian wood in the top plate. Apparently rare outside Brazil, but semi-famous because Chet Atkins played one. The construction is dubious and they're often out of tune, but this one sounded wonderful, I thought.
