I love the looks of this latest reissue. I didn't even realize it was out until your post. Nice pics too!
Just curious, but how does it (or does it?) compare to the playability and sound of your Jerry Jones Longhorns? I heard a JJ played in a small club, and have had it on the brain ever since.
Well, the nice photos with a black background I "borrowed" from an ebay auction, so I can't take credit for those.
I've noticed two differences between it and my JJ 4-string. The neck on the Dano is deeper, fingerboard to back, than the JJ, and the JJ has a bit more bass to the tone, not dramatic but noticable side-by-side. Otherwise, the Dano felt just like what I'm used to.
