Vintage solid top Tak's

I've always had a special place in my heart for 'lawsuit era' Takamine's but find it very difficult to get information on how a given model was constructed; what the materials used were; and which models used solid woods.

I know, for example, that the 'S' suffix on an F360 (ie: F360S) means that the top is solid.

Did Takamine make any all solid wood guitars in those days?

Anyone know of a site that provides this kind of information?

Are there any solid top Tak's that don't carry the 'S' suffix? For example, their 12 strings?

thanks!

To partially answer my own question, I was able to find a discontinued models section on the Takamine corporate site:
