thanks...good to know. There are actually 2 types - these appear to be the less expensive option....

I swapped from Barts to Hanson and the Hanson pu/pre was just a bit brighter. Long time ago, though!

Is there a group for 55-94 stuff, or does that go here, or both?
I’ve loved flame redwood ever since having a fretless redwood Peavey Cirrus 6 string.
You’re gonna love it Chief the neck plays like butter and feels like satin. That top

I spent this afternoon futzing with setup til I got it where I like it. Always a but of back and forth with relief and string height to get it just so...
Then spent some time messing with the mid dip switch settings and settled on 275. Maybe that seems "low" for mid adjust, but everything else felt like it wasn't doing all that much, and lower than that was in fact into the lows. At 275 it seems to add a nice heft and punch to it that "isn't bass." I don't know how to describe that better.
I'd had three(?) 55-02 before I bought this. It's pretty nice.

The 55–02’s are great especially at their price. What I feel the main differences between a Skyline is the comfortable playability the quarter sawn necks on a 55-94 feels lighter and more resonate. The body’s are also a bit lighter so they rest easy on your shoulder.
What?!! Skylines aren’t heavy!!
(says the guy with the heaviest one ever!)

I've been lurking for some time...I think it is time for me to share a pic too. It was a long wait, but absolutely worth it. Dealing with Lakland was wonderful from top to bottom.
Gorgeous! Love the blocks and binding!
Thank you. I figured adding some options would make it unique, make it my own. It is a lifetime purchase as far as I'm concerned. I'll pass it off to my son or daughter in a decade or two-- they're very young now.
From what I've heard it kind of depends on which of the Skylines you have, my Indonesian Skyline 55-02 and my U.S. 55-94 are almost exactly the same weight. @ 8.5 lbs.
I guess the 55-94 is just weighted and balanced better. So it feels lighter on my shoulders. Hard to say.
