Okay this has been bugging me for a long time. On vintage D-40's from the 60's and 70's (Hoboken and Westerly made), I have noticed that some of these feature the basic silk screened domed "Guild" on the headstock (like D-25's have) and others have the more ornate Chesterfield design headstock. Does anyone know why this is? Is there some reason the factory at the time would opt for one headstock design over the other? For example, would they put a Chesterfield design headstock on a guitar with a higher quality grade of spruce top? Do used D-40's with the Chesterfield design command a premium in the used market?
Sorry for all the questions but I know LTG is the place to come when trying to solve the world's problems.
