Need the yellow one. Need it, need it, need it.

Although, I just had a thought; the pound has dropped badly against the dollar, so will that affect the price these eventually end up at over here? The last batches are easily had on eBay for sub £165 prices with P&P right now, but times were better then. I guess if Danelectro just flood the shops with these as they have done with the last few, then it won't make much difference though.

And like that, my GAS is relieved. Don't want one if the trem's pony.

They are odd looking beasts for sure, I had a black longhorn baritone for a while, and it was OK if you could convince yourself you were in the Munsters house band or something. Sounded ace, and felt nice on.

The Longhorn is fugly.

I'm not a Trem user so I don't particularly care if it's super wack.

A redeeming feature of the Lornghorn is that one of They Might be Giants used one.

There are loads of good songs, some pretty dismal ones, but the quality of the good ones definitely outweighs the bollocks ones. Hmm I've just had a look for their Dial-a-Song CD but can't find it, and I'm sure I had it on the iPod :(

The trem was not amazing, but the design is sleek and super comfortable. A great cheaper way to get into bari-territory.

Again, did it have the range of a bigsby or was it more like pushing in the body around the neck on a non-trem guitar for that surfy vibrato sound?

I have 0only played two bigsbys one had a fairly ok range and the other one didnt. the danelectro was worse and way stiffer. I dont even know how you would adjust it or if it would even be possible.

I'm sure there's a way to loosen the trem, and I will find it.

I just agreed to put half down on a black Hornet - should be delivered in April or May.
