That’s lovely.
Now I need to know your thoughts on how the two compare.
ok, I try.....
first of all, they are both great guitars
the necks are actually both the same and very comfortable to play
the 1959 is a little louder acoustically and the 1966 is a little heavier probably because of the bigsby, which by the way works great
the sound on the amplifier is also as expected, the 1959 with the Franz pickups is a bit louder and more bass and overall more powerful.
the mickey mouse pickups are livelier, just like single coils
I disconnected the resistor on the mickey mouse pickups.....
I can't say which one sounds better, they sound quite different but both sound great
