I just got a 55-02 Deluxe model with a clear pickguard. Price was astoundingly low and I'm in love. This is my first Lakland and it wont be my last.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Welcome to the addiction. PM "nubs" for a number, and don't forget to check out Link Removed.
 
Because of pickup placement, the Decade is deeper voiced, and throatier. I call it the "Voice of God" Dan Lakin calls the tone a "Produced P". Meaning a P bass tone, that's been mixed to perfection. My house has taken a hit to it's foundation after getting the Decade:-) Very nice top with a throaty roar, and bottom for days.

Oh jeez, thats exactly not what I needed to hear to keep GAS at bay. One thing I am worried about, is that I'm used to the 35" scale on my Cirrus, and when I play the Spector I feel cramped. What are the chances I could score a Lakie 4 in 35"? Actually come to think of it, I've also fallen in love with the oil finish on the neck of my Peavey, much better than any satin or gloss finish I've used, think they'd do that too?

Leo had a 4-76 that was 35" scale... not sure if it's still available.
