King Super 20 Series 2 Questions

Hey guys,

I currently play a King Zephyr, SN 305xxx, with an interesting brass looking lacquer to it. I believe it's called cola lacquer. I'm looking to upgrade to a Super 20 within the same serial number range to retain a similar sound but with updated ergonomics.

Did King make Series 2 S20s in the cola/brass lacquer? For people who have played the vintage of Zephyrs similar to mine, would an S20 close to 305xx play with a similarly warm, mellow sound? I've read on here about how the sound changes from early to later S20s...I'm wondering how those ones in the middle would compare. I really like the sound of my Zephyr, but I'm hung up on the ergonomics. Also, does anyone know if the neck angle changed between S20s and Zephyrs?

Thanks!
