[quote name='jcater' post='352456' date='Dec 12 2008, 09:39 AM']Am i the only one on this site who has a real vintage 59 long scale model. Some modifications but much is still original.
It makes me feel old when everyone is talking about 1980 & 90's models. I'm not sure they would be for me, think i'd better stay vintage.[/quote]
I have a '59 too. One owner - eventually managed to wrangle her away from the factory. All original, she's still got a firm body, nicely contoured and remains passive. Have tried active circuitry but she liked it too much, so went back to the original. No upgrades except for a respray on top every month or so.
