When I checked the forum the other day, I was struck by the fact that near the top were threads for the 1968 D40 and the 1969 D40, and over in the Buy/Sell/Trade subform was a thread for a 1964 D40. Well, I thought, I can help fill in the gaps.
Here is my 1966 D40, which Sandy kindly sold to me after he bought his Oxnard D40 Traditional. The guitar has an interesting appearance: it has few scratches, dings, or other superficial flaws, but the finish has lost all its gloss. What finish there is is matte and very thin. The guitar is very well balanced and has a warm, woody tone; it works very nicely with my voice. In newer guitars I prefer rosewood to mahogany, but old mahogany can be wonderful, as my Hoboken guitars show.
Anyone have a '63, '65, or '67, so we can complete the set?
