- YES, YES, and for GOD'S sake man, don't play it ! Put
- it in a glass cabinet with proper humidity control and
- only use lighting with low UV ! Or it's value will be
- cut way down to somthing like $75 bucks !
-
- I'm really getting sick of all this collectible B.S. A
- few more years of this and your basic Fender Champ will
- cost $1000.00. Any guitar made of wood from ealier than
- 1980 will be $2000.00. Of course there will be thousands
- of Fender Deluxe's, Pro-Reverbs, vintage Strats, Pauls,
- 335's all in nice glass cabinets for us to *look* at.
-
- Sorry Ross, I don't really have anything against you. You
- can ignore me if you like.
