![]() The scale length isn't that weird to get a feel for, but the fact that the tail piece is so close to the back of the instrument moves everything about 2 frets when compared to my strat. It's more like setting up an archtop though where the bridge isn't a tune-o-matic or fender type, but you can angle it if you're using heavier strings. The wood they used was pretty tough and unlike a nut, there's not a lot of string movement on the bridge over the years so they don't really wear out. In terms of the old wooden bridges, It's not that big of a deal. You can intonate each string independently, but they're metal so I'm sure many here care about the tonal difference that creates. The scale on the reissues I'm pretty sure is the same so if that's a sticking point, (at least on the Dano 63, a U2 or something might be different) I'd avoid it. IIRC there was actually a recall because of this, but the issue is so small and incosequential that it doesn't bother me. On my reissue, there's a piece of white tape that goes around the side of the body and the lower cutaway the tape lost some glue so it sticks up. ![]()
