New (to me) Acoustic

Last night I was given a mid 80's Ibanez acoustic. A friend of a friend bought a Taylor, so he gave his Washburn to my friend, who in turn offered me his Ibanez. It's pretty nice, the price was right and I've never had an acoustic guitar, so I picked it up last night. It has a little warp in the top around the bridge, but it still plays OK. I was with my frined the day he bought it in 1985, so I know it was well cared for. It looks like this one (with the pointy 80's headstock) but in a tobacco burst.

Is that a maple fretboard on an acoustic?! Never seen that before!

Congrats!! I love acoustics...the guitar that sort of relit the music fire for me was a little Alvarez RF-8. Electrics have their place and it's a significant one, but acoustics are great!!

Sorry, the one I received has a rosewood fretboard.
Action is a little high, but you can't beat free, right?
