I had the chance to try a '59 (the "junior" model). Overall, for $200 it's impressive. The neck felt ok, and the pickup was very P90-ish. However, for me there was one show-stopper that stops me from buying one for fun or from recommending it to anyone. It was very neck-heavy, more so than any guitar I've played. I think it would be uncomfortable (for me anyway) after playing for any length of time. Is this because it's a bolt-on? The dimensions seems pretty comparable otherwise. Below is a side by side comparison the Slick and a Gibson with horizontal lines at the nut and 12th fret to line them up.
