Your Mom's guitar was made in Japan and first produced for schools; however the necks were like telephone poles so they quit making them for awhile and came back out later on. Some later versions were quite good. I would go with the Kelly Bluebook on Acoustic guitars. Thanks!

Hello
The serial can place the year at 2 different years....either a 1958 or a 1967. Goya has a long history or being bought by different companies and they all had a different way of serial numbers. But there is a way to tell the difference. Check this site out as it is very informative and will help you date this guitar. http://www.vintage-guitars.se/Levin/Goya_serial_numbers.htm
Also, jsut for the hisstory side of things check out this site. Vintage Goya Guitars

V + 5 or 6 digits (American Vintage Series except '52 Telecaster, which uses a five-digit number stamped into the bridge plate)
2011

(for American Vintage series, check neck date for specific year)
