Got one of these - first DA I've held since I looked over an original back in the late '70s. So far, I like it a lot. The action is nice and low, it came strung with .009 strings like I prefer, and it sounds GREAT through my 100W 112 combo. Took me a while to find the "Made in Japan" stamp - both it and the serial number are on opposite sides of the base of the neck. Don't know about the first reissues, but these appear to have the original fatter neck profile. I even like the new bridge - after I'd had it a week I started to get a bit of buzz out of the 1st string. I simply removed the saddle and shimmed it with a bit of aluminum foil. That's working like a champ. The more I play it, the more I like it...would like to try the thinner neck, though. Just to compare. So far, so good...
