  i have been playing this model (blonde )for over 30 years and have been looking around but have never seen another till i looked at this site.lots of sunburst but the tops arn't as nice as the blonde i have many guitars a 1955 martin ect. have been a player since 1959 my monterey is a nice sounding and comforltable to play and gets more play than any of my other guitars.
