I own the original Fender 60's that this is based from and the main difference is that the reissue has a thinner neck, electronics, binding on the body and neck, and ofcouse the inlays. Oh, and also electronics.
ITs also pretty cool that it comes with an onboard tuner

Sounds really good for a low end guitar. I have the original Fender Acoustasonic that was made in the 60's by Harmony. It sounds different but gets the job done. It has a nice sound of a full mahogany guitar.
Any Rancid fan will LOVE this guitar.

Pretty good setup for the price, sounds great. The bracing inside isnt perfect but this sucker is made in china, and what do you expect for the price?

For this price this really is a GREAT guitar, its a must for any rancid fan and its a good starter guitar. I own over 20 guitars and many of them over 3k. But I come to this one first because it plays well, sounds decent, and I dont have to hassle with opening the case and wiping it down after playing.
