Recently I've been on a little kick for one of these 72-74ish 54 reissues and I'm wondering if anyone here has one and what their thoughts are on them. In addition if anyone has any direct knowledge of how they compare to an original 50's model, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I did find a guy that did a side by side comparison on another message board; ahem!, but he was trying to sell a 73 reissue at the time, so I can't really not take those thoughts without a grain of salt. Also feel free to post some photos! And I once upon a time worked at a pretty good vintage guitar shop and had a good amount of first hand experience with multiple genuine articles which just blew me away and has forever planted the seed of desire for an Alnico V LPC. I do remember we did have a 73 RI in at one point, but at the time I didn't really know about this run and was totally uninterested in it. I do remember it being heavy whereas most of the 50's LPC's I've played have been relatively lightweight by Custom standards. I'd love some input and some photos to lust over. Thanks kids!
