D-40 Bluegrass Jubilee, renowned for its balanced, articulate sound and excellent projection, this model quickly found favor with flatpickers and fingerstylists alike.

Todays D-40 Bluegrass Jubilee with D-TAR features a solid red spruce top with red spruce scalloped bracing, solid mahogany back and sides, tortoise bindings, mahogany neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, pearl dot inlays, bone nut and saddle, pure nitrocellulose lacquer finish and the D-TAR Wave-Length Load N Lock pickup system.

Neck - 3-Piece Mahogany/Walnut/Mahogany Fretboard - Indian Rosewood, 12 Radius, (305 mm) Width at Nut - 1.68 (43mm) No. of Frets - 20 Scale Length - 25.63 (651 mm) Hardware - Chrome Gotoh 700 Series Nickel-Plated Open-Back Tuners Pickups - D-TAR Wave-Length Pickup and Preamp System with Load N Lock Battery Access. The Wave-Length combines a thin, piezo under-saddle transducer with an 18v, low-noise, high input impedance preamp, to create a system with twice the dynamic range of typical 9v systems. The 18v preamp is powered by two AA batteries and a voltage converter. With 18 volts, the signal has more headroom, so hard strumming wont distort as easily. The preamp also has an input for a second source, like a magnetic pickup or a soundboard transducer. Two adjustable trim pots, one for low frequency shelving and one for high frequency shelving, allow you to fine tune and set and forget the bass and treble frequencies to optimize the Wave-Length for your instruments size and shape; enabling you transparently amplify the natural timbre of your acoustic guitar with minimal coloration. The soundhole mounted Volume and Tone controls give the ultimate in final control your tonal palette. But perhaps the coolest part of the system is D-TARs new Load N Lock system, which allows quick and easy AA batteries changes. Just unscrew the endpin collar, remove the old batteries,
