My apartment in San Jose was burglarized in 1980. I lost a 1979 Gibson RD Artist (not a great guitar) and a 1937 Gibson Super 400. (Which was an immensely great guitar.) I had the same issues about buying a Strat, so I went with a 1980 or 81 G&L F-100 Series II and have never looked back. This one is not mine, but looks identical. http://www.guitarsbyleo.com/PICS/F100/GGF10081.JPG <SNIP> > > I'll stop rambling now. > Greg I enjoyed the ramble! - Mark
