It features the highly collectible, squared-off headstock and horizontal gold script logo that prompted Martin to issue a famous cease-and-desist letter to Takamine in the early 1980s.The "Sleeper" Solid Wood Top:While standard G330 labels from this era did not feature the "S" suffix, this particular 1982 model was built with a solid spruce top.
