Any opinions? Looking at a 2018 model with MHS pickups.

Are these essentially 1959 RIs with the slimmer neck profile? They look to still have the same shape, dots and long pickguard.

Any opinions on these greatly appreciated.

Ha, yes - indeed it is.

Anyone have any insights or opinions about the ‘61 RIs or the MHS pickups?

Yes that looks like the Memphis 59, the 58 has no neck binding.....I'd go for the new retooled for accuracy 2020 reissue 59 if you want the longer pickguard as the new 2020 Nashville reissues have that one but the 61 and 64 have the later ones. the 59 has the fat neck, the 61 a slim one and the 64 back to a fatter one.

Thanks for the replies- this one pictured is actually a ‘61 RI from a limited run in 2018, it has a long guard, gold reflector knobs and the double-ring Klusons. It’s not a ‘59 RI.
