I cannot find any information on this. I bought it in 93 or 94, and got no paperwork from the guitar shop. I don't care because I have no intention of ever letting it go. It's a great guitar and I love it. I saw one bit of info from someone who said they had one, but the info dated from 2002. I am looking to find info on replacement saddles, machines, and other component parts. It also has a weird serial number. It is #295091216. I think it's a quilted or tiger maple top, but don't know. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Great guitar, but somehow not very popular. Wonder why?

Your AE40 looks great. I guess the reason they weren't popular is because not enough people got them into their hands to play. I've been using this for recording for 10 years now, and all my others with exception of one(which is a full dreadnought and not a cutaway), don't give me the tonal quality and playability I look for. Thanks for the info. Any other information would be much appreciated.

Now they are strong in acoustcis and have soemthing like 100 models. Jim
