I agree about the difference between vintage and reissue. They can't do in a shop what 50 years can do. An original 59 is about the holy grail of electrics.. And they carry a price that proves it. I have seen them go for over $100k. So then the question has to be asked. If cost is an issue, is it 10 times better than an R9 or simply different?
