They have been standard production since the LX's were introduced in 2004.

Oh my......those are nice!!

Tone wish tho......do inlaid epis affect the vibration of the top differently as opposed to surface mounting?

One of the ideas for making the sound holes in the shoulders of the guitars was that area didn't vibrate as much. In the 1537s there's a layer of wood under the shoulders and the epis. I don't think we ever figured out why, but it makes 3 layers of wood and it doesn't seem to affect the vibration of the 1537s. Most would agree the 1537 sounds as good as anything.
