    I have the Deluxe model with the gold hardwear. I wasn't even aware they came in a lefty. I actually found mine in 2006. The shop I deal with had 3 NOS in the box. I still have everything in plastic and the case candy is still in the bags. I do play it occasionally and it is a very nice guitar.

    I Have 2 deluxes I bought in 2000 when they first came out and this FEELs About the same But the pickups are pretty decent they are fat 50 but worked a bit different they say .. I got rid of the Noisless in the deluxes for texas specials in one and fralin vintage hots in the other.
    I think Im going to try and find another one of the 50 anniversarys there is one on ebay a bit used and he wants $1199.00..just gotta see if he still has the original Pick ups

    Woah, I missed this thread somehow :

    Very nice ax there, VC! (I would imagine the lefties will appreciate in price quicker [and more] due to less of them being made...)
