This Japanese guitars are everywhere, but they are in demand. If the neck can be repaired, it will make this guitar worth 2-3 times your $ 100 garage sale estimate. It might be a great learning opportunity to remove and "redo" and the reinstall the neck. Worst case scenerio... the neck is trashed and you sell the body for $ 100 as a "project.....

good luck, let us know how it comes out...

I believe those Decca guitars were built for Sears Reobuck company back in the day. I have an old acoustic Decca that I used to pull of parts to make my first CBG.
