I agree, save up and get it, it might take a bit longer than you expected but it pays off
Besides, if you get a cheaper one you will most probably end up saving again and finally getting the one you really craved for, so buying "inexpensive" gear is many times actually more expensive in the long run -------------------- Guitars:

There's a few but the biggest, and longest-lived, lust purchase is this one:
It's even down 2k in price since I started ogling it during winter of this year. I don't need it, ever, but it has a HUGE stack of awesome features. EDIT: Since the forum resized the image (it wasn't that huge to begin with) it may not be clear that the image is also a link to the product page. Here's a quick run down: - the usual parker fly features (piezos, 3-way trem, bizarre composite material neck & fretboard, etc) - neck pickup: sustainiac - midi out The big silver knob is a stack of variax presets which are picked up either by the bridge pickup OR the piezos in the bridge itself; I'm not 100% certain. Regardless, the onboard variax system includes 10 user-programmable at either end of the knob's rotation. When the variax is engaged the five-way switch becomes part of the program selection. It's pretty freaky. Might as well include Belew's kinda half-hearted demo: This post has been edited by jafomatic: Sep 24 2009, 03:59 PM -------------------- ::jafomatic

Worst thing about this is that I later found out it was someone I knew who bought it I have a very recent story like this too, but not quite so personally heartbreaking since I wasn't going to be the buyer. After NoSkill pointed me towards some nice Jackson Soloist --that we even found in a gorgeous orangey maple flame top-- I started considering it an "intermediate" lust-guitar to my "want to buy" list. Meanwhile, NoSkill had actually started bidding on it, as it was on ebay. He was finally outbid beyond his preferred budget and we later happened to be talking about it in chat. Turns out we both knew a friend of the buyer: The lead singer of a band starring GMC's very own user #5426... Jesse. -------------------- ::jafomatic
