Style 27 and 30


The Style 30 also has a pearl inlayed rosette.  Here you can see a Style 27 with a Style 30, which appear to be nearly identical.  In fact, in some years, the only difference between the style 27 and 30 were the tuners, which were brass on the Style 27, and silver plated on the Style 30.
