The Jimmie Rodgers was first produced in 1951, where it featured mahogany sides and back, a rosewood fret, and a rosewood flattop bridge.  Over the years, the guitar changed slightly, and new versions appeared in 1995, 1959, 1965, and 1971.  It was 1971 that saw the end of the Jimmie Rodgers Folk Guitar as the 6003, although a version of it, the 7506, would be produced for several more years.  This final version of the instrument was built using the same main materials, although it was a bit different—the body was deeper, for example.  Again, the Jimmie Rodgers Folk Guitar wasn’t an outstanding instrument, but it is unique for having many different names, and it has been recognized as a nice, mid-range guitar that was quite affordable.
