After the war, it was re-released as the "J-200" in 1946. The main feature of the postwar model was that the prewar model had rosewood sides and back, while the postwar model had maple sides and back (only two maple side and back models were produced as a custom order before the war). Also, in '48, natural color was introduced, the peg head became single-layer cell binding, and after '49, the body thickness increased from 4 1/2" to 4 2/3", 4 7/8" in '52, and 5" in the mid-'60s.
