68 Black Beauty Re-Issue

This one has my attention - I have played (more like touched since I didn't know more than two chords at the time) the original back in my high school days and I have lusted after one ever since. Any comments on this guitar? I can handle the truth...

If your looking for someone to talk you out of buying one, it won't be me. Go for it dude!

I think I saw one, or a very similar guitar recently. very heavy guitar, if I recall correctly.

actually, no ... I was thinking of the one with gold hardware (sorry for the leftie!):

Gibzenerfender used to be a frequent contributor, but I think we've lost him.
