I briefly had a Dano 63 long scale in red and hated it, it was too light and if you like the deep sound of a usa jazz then it don't work for me.
Status looks awesome, not sure about the upper bout going that far along the neck, that's very close to where I play, agree they look awesome though.
I COULD saw some bit's off my Jazz, maybe even drill some holes but.........
I think the fender lyte looks promising, can you still get them new?
