First off you have the model number wrong- That's an "FT-130 mpl". They were made in Japan by Matsumoku who also made Aria guitars and the FT-130's were made from about 1973 until about 1979. The "mpl" of course does designate a (laminated) maple body and it also has a laminated spruce top. They go for around $175 on E Bay with $25 in either direction for condition.
