I get bored so quick;y and until I find the perfect guitar, I'll keep changing around.
To cut to the chase, I bought: a Gibson Les Paul Studio (Honeyburst) brand new with a case. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-Les-Pau...825-i1321970.gc I also bought a almost new Fender Telecaster FMT HH (Cherryburst) in a TKL case. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Special...262-i1146787.gc I got both guitars for only $1077 TOTAL shipped, a screaming deal. To pay for my hobby and quest for the best guitar I sold 3 of my guitars and one of them is up for sale with bids on ebay. I sold my Ibanez Prestige RGA121 for $634 with a gigbag, sold my ESP LTD Viper 400 with active EMGs for $435 in a generic hardshell case, and I sold my Gibson Flying V Faded for $510 with a gigbag. Right now I have my Gibson Les Paul Special Faded (Ebony) on a auction site and it is already up to $449 without a case. I hope the winner of that auction is smart and pays an extra $50 so I can include my Gibson Protector Hardshell Case (a $200 case). If I bought a nice guitat like that I would want the case. So, am I nuts or what???  I did go to sam Ash where I played a Framus Camarillo, an awesome guitar for $1700, but not worth that much to me yet. I played a PRS McCarty that was $2500, also an awesome guitar, but again too much money at this point in time. I plated numerous Les Paul Studios, Customs, and Classics and finally came to the conclsuion.... The Custom is nor worth $2500, too heavy, the Classic was really nice for $1350 pre-owned, but I want to stay with the 490r & 498T classic Gibson Pick-ups, so the Studio was my choice. You still get the Maple top, but without $1000-$2000 worth of frills like binding. I kind of wish the Studio had the slim 60s neck like my Special I am selling, but the Fatter Studio neck is great for sustain and sound. Eventually I will probably step up to a $1500+ guitar, butright now buying and selling high quality lower cost guitars is too much fun.  Howard -------------------- Electric Guitars
