H6560 - Sovereign jumbo - 1972-1975 - Acoustic flatop - Natural
Seventies version of the H1260 - Some have a X-braced top in last years - Headstock wears "Sovereign" in 1972 then "Harmony" in 1974 - bound then unbound neck/headstock. Some bodies are laminated. Identification of versions is difficult. If you're looking for the x-braced version, you'd better check it inside by yourself... Not to be confused with the later H6560A, made in Korea, wich is a completely different guitar.
