Location: Cupertino, CA | Hi,
I'm looking to buy a Balladeer model and have been looking on eBay.
In some items, the sellers provide a clear picture of the label seen through the sound hole with the grey color (Made in New Hartford, CT).
In a few other, I'd see a fuzzy label with blue background and could not make out the wording.
Can someone please clear up the significance of the background color?
Your response is greatly appreciated.

Location: Scotland | The labels will give a rough indication of the era the guitar was produced. Very approximately it's something like; White square label - 60's. bronze foil oval label-70's, blue oval - late 70's to maybe early 90's, small grey oval - current. Sam, Bill or one of the factory members could probably get the dates more accurate |
