An acquaintance of mine has the only one I ever noticed, which prompted me to ask about 'em on this forum a couple of months back. Someone answered, citing model numbers and years, etc. ~ there is a 2005 Mudcat thread about this if you can find it... |

Since I play a J-40 myself, she kindly let me look at it while she strummed it a couple times. It was quite pretty both in looks and sound. I wonder why she wouldn't let me hold it? Hmmm. Mike |
