What Changed in 1967
First full year of Westerly factory production for the D-40. The Westerly factory was larger and more modern than Hoboken. Quality remained high — many of the same workers made the transition.
Collector's Notes
Early Westerly D-40s are well-regarded. The quality transition from Hoboken to Westerly was smoother than many factory moves — experienced workers relocated. Values are slightly below Hoboken-era but instruments are excellent.
