I have no favorite when it comes to my basses. If pressed for one, I would have to go with this.

It is original. The finish has it's share of dents and scrapes but it is still beautiful after all those years (March '63).

A Deluxe '63 all original... that's the holy grail.

Henny, it's all about the deluxe...
I have just spent a small fortune, getting my White RM1999 converted to "deluxe" spec...
I couldn't take the simple look any longer.
New neck inlays, (that was the most labour/time intensive...) pickguard, trc, and changed out (and sold..) original pick ups.
It's like having a new bass....
