Curious about this guitar

Hi there 

I’m looking for some info about a Guitar that was given to me. Im trying to sell it but I’m really not sure what it’s worth. I know nothing about it but it’s in excellent shape. Here’s some pictures, if anyone could tell me roughly what year it’s from or how it might be worth I’d be very grateful! Cheers!
