But I speak in generalities only, not from specific knowledge of any 600-series models. Likewise, the Pac-rim companies, again in generalities, tended to add an "S" suffix to indicate an upgraded solid-top version, then later dropped the suffix when the solid top became a standard feature of that level instrument. Can be most confusifying! Unfortunately, your model # looks like notes I used to write while riding the NYC subway, so it's accuracy & intent is a good question.

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
