Just got a new Dano Longhorn

[patman]

I love the look of the new ones...

I've got two from the last run...lightweight workhorses that can cop almost any style

Cant resist the urge to give a plug for my favourite LongHorn player Neil Merryweather.

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).

ohh, Thanks for the Tuner pic!
Mucho Appreciated. They are different, like guitar tuners (on my Dad's Acoustic Gibson).

Dang, that is really nice finish work!

Really looks like a horseshoe crab from the back!

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.
