Do any of the D55's have scalloped braces?

TMG,
My '92 D-55 has scalloped braces (X-braces and a couple of the treble side braces/tone bars). I think scalloped braces on the D-55 were introduced in Westerly D-55s in '90 or '91 ('90, according to Beesley)... I would assume that practice continued thru the Westerly, Corona, and Tacoma years to New Hartford.

Thanks for the quick answers.
I would think that the scalloped bracing may be one reason that D55's are so loud.

And saddle height... and the break angle of the strings over the saddle... and string gauge... and the picker... it all adds up!
