I had one in the 70's .. .. .. Amber- natural finish , Mahogany neck , ff holes , rosewood fingerboard glued to the top
top carved, back, Arched , pressed Mahogany 3 ply, as seen via un bound back corner - edge.
sides may have been solid mahogany or more 3 ply, it was not visible..
Kluson tuners buttons of a plastic that was prone to deteriorate.. with age..
It played great ..
All? i couldn't afford to own all of them, just one ,, I later got an Oval hole A from 1922..
Sold the A 40..
