  I acquired a 1948 H1306 and had the pleasure of restoring it. In the process realized that the tone bars were not glued in, but carved in to the top. Its a pleasure to work on a instrument that some one took such care in building. The war had to have been just ending or just over when it was built. The guitar is a pleasure to hear and play.
