One of my fave guitars ever was a DC Special. Great little guitars.
It's possible I could afford a 50s Jr sometime next year, how much more roughly is it for the specials?
When you get to that kind of money, also, the custom shop prices all of a sudden seem quite sensible
There must be some good recent-ish factory years
If you look around and go for a refin, or a non-original parts, or a repaired neck/heel break then you are looking at £3k - £3.5k for a 59-60 which isn't that much more than a CS one - hell, it's the same as an R8 new....
problem was fixed by late 59 but those models seem to come up less often and tend to fetch a higher price.
if you end up going vintage I've got a player grade 57 Special that I'm supposed for be selling. if you want to give it a try in the new New Year let me know. I'm not exactly making a huge effort to flog it, so it'll probably be around for a while. Or at least until the wife remembers I promised her I'd unload it.
it's made me want a Junior over a Special.
