Love it!  I kinda wish I hadn't sold the one I had, but money was tight.  Maybe I'll get another one some day.

That looks a lot more authentic than their other recent reissues.

I nearly bought a blue one myself a few months back but needed a new speaker. Looks great.

Purdy and classic in that fin. Luckily it has the knobs so the symetrical body will not confuse unsuspecting consumers to play it as a lefty ...  ;)

I like it! Congrats on joining the Dano Club. =)

How do the back of the Tuning Keys look? The front looks like they fit a lot better than the other reissues (At least mine anyway).

Congrats indeed!
You can adjust the truss rod without taking the neck off, finally! The '09s are the first Danos ever with this feature I believe. It looks great!

And strangely enuff, I just tweaked the bridge height and the action was great, didn't need to adjust the neck.

Dang, that's pretty good! Of course, now that trussrod adjustment is easy, you didn't have to do it... Is it a short or long scale?

Very nice, and a good-lookin' color!

Is this the new Longhorn "58" re-issue that Danelectro have been advertising for the past 6 months? I see them listed for $359.00 on the Danelectro site.

Sure looks like it. They're $349 at MF, Sam Ash and other online stores.

Yep, that's it, I paid $350 at a local "Mom and Pop"(sorry Bill) guitar shop here in Austin. I like that it's a "'58" as that's the year I was born!
