She is full-blood acoustic, no electronics used anywhere. The headstock reminds me of a classical guitar, but I don't know enough about instruments to have a full diagnosis.

The model/year is pretty hard to find, I havent seen anything on it besides some manufacturing numbers. I'm gonna do some more internet research on her, but because its likely a beginner guitar from a small brand, it'll be pretty hard.

Thanks for the smell tip, I'll definitely be using it a bunch this summer. Mostly because she came with a case, that's the only case I have right now and I'd be to paranoid to let any of my other instruments outside without one.

Edit: A Franciscan E-40 is what I could get from it so far. Also, it's Japan made.

Stuff I found on the internet was only questions from other people, too.

Definitely a classical guitar - The width of the neck at the nut gives it away (makes it easier to play single notes, and to be clear and articulate while playing). I'm confident you've been told this already, or know it already, but no steel strings for that lady: There's no steel adjustment rod in the neck, and it'll bow under the tension of steel strings.

You could always call it Liona.

No, I didn't get the steel string info., thank you so much for that, I'll make sure to keep that on hand! I love Liona, what a great name.

She is pretty! Looks like a classical guitar. My first impression was that she looked like a "Julia" or an "Irene."
