DD201

The DD201 line from Lajosi runs through three editions, each carrying the Slant Neck designation into a different finish: Red Birdie, Red Anvil, and Red Roo. All three share the same slant neck configuration according to lajosi.com, as reported by the publication, and the line has held a consistent price point across each edition, with lajosi.com listing 849.99 AUD for the Red Birdie, the Red Anvil, and the Red Roo alike.

The Red Roo entry is worth pausing on. lajosi.com's own listing attaches three finish names to it at once, Red Anvil, Red Roo, and Red Birdie, which reads less like three separate colorways bundled under one slug and more like the record catching some overlap between editions at the point of sale. Whatever the cause, the reader should treat the Red Roo's finish as unsettled rather than singular.

Taken together, the arc here is one of steady iteration rather than reinvention. The Slant Neck shape appears to be the constant thread across the DD201 name, with color and finish doing the work of distinguishing one release from the next. Nothing in what lajosi.com reports suggests a shift in price or neck configuration from one edition to another, so what separates Red Birdie from Red Anvil from Red Roo looks, on this record, to be cosmetic rather than structural.
