vtcomics Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Can anyone offer some help on how to tell if a ES 339 is the "figured" model or not? I'm having a heck of a time trying to "figure" this out. I had thought that "regular" antique red 339's sported a model number of ARDNH, while the figured models added a "1" at the end. Now I'm not so sure. All the other specs seem to be identical; very confusing. Any help appreciated! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, no Caramel colored figured model.

Is that indicated in the model #? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm not sure what your question is.....Figuring refers to a flame or quilted maple top......rather than a plain maple top..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibSinCity Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thanks, but exactly what do they mean by "figuring"? Is that indicated in the model #? "Figuring" refers to the wood grain. There's Plain grain, and there's Flame, or Quilt "Figuring". I would think it would be indicated in model number.
