The newer reissues that came out in the 2000's have an metal adjustable bridge and the 90's hafve that nice pice of floating wood. Nice fiddle IMHO.

Actually, the 90s ones came either way, depending on if you got the standard or "pro" version. The difference is the bridge and tuners.
That one's a 99.
Also, the "floating piece of wood" is highly functional and many prefer the sound and feel (esp. around here).
And if you can intonate a Tele (a shorter scale and made for high notes) you sure can intonate a Dano w/Rosewood.

I've never played a longhorn but know what it sounds like. (great!) I almost popped for one of those white Mesa combos at one point but have a nice little Acoustic that sounds really good.

I've had a bit more time on my hands the past month though fortunately still able to work from home, and I've been pulling out all off my basses and playing them, oiling the fretboards, intonating, etc. The longhorn is surprisingly comfortable to play even though it has the odd shaped body. The lower horn is long enough that if you are playing while sitting down it sits well in your lap. With some dead flats and a pick, I'm in palm muting heaven.

I've also done a number of back-burner tasks due to SIP - it's a fringe benefit to have the time to "get around" doing things left for later. I did nut work on all my basses using the 3rd fret depressed routine. (3rd fret depressed/fretted - each string should barely touch the 1st fret. Some were spot-on while others needed filing. They all feel better after doing so.

Great tip! I'll have to try that.
