MODELS
The dates and specs in this table are accurate to my knowledge, but we're always discovering new information on these guitars. Some models didn't appear in catalogs, some were never available in the US, and examples do turn up that were produced at times when they were not listed in the US catalogs, so nothing is written in stone.
