30TH Anniversary Status Graphite Re Issue basses

Drool!

Are they really different (sound) from the modern S2 ones ?
If they are an exact replica, electronically especially, of the very early ones, not only they sound different from the current S2 but even from the SII late 80s.
The way you recognize the very early SII is from the exposed poles on the pick up. As far as I remember, only 149 were produced, I have the #103 from '84. The 30th Anniversary looks like mine, so I can save myself the $9000 price tag :smug:
