That may be it. I remember it was an alder body and a lacquer finish, and of course, a glue-in neck like the original. The cherry sunburst finish on the Nokie looks nice too, even though not authentic to a '63. I think Semi did bursts like that in the late 80's for the sidejack reissues. Interesting about the wider fret board. That would definitely fit my Fenderized hands, but sometimes I think a change to the feel of a neck can be a good thing.
This bring up a good point. The first guitar on my posting is a glue on neck but the 2nd one (N.E.Signature) is a bolt on neck. I was wondering why they changed that. Personally, I prefer glue on neck. (thru neck is even better, that was what Nokie used on his HitchHikers)
