Oh No! More Luthier's names still, you guys are scaring me!
Rick, Thanks. I don't forsee ever sinking 8 big ones in a guitar, but I might hold off a year and spend a little more if I get convinced my "desert island guitar" or "new friend" has got to be in an upper price range. My '54 J45 has got lots of musicality left, so I can afford to go slow. Spaw I'll let you know for sure. You're right I'm having a great time. But get too worked up, I'm moving slow!

Cheers and thanks, Fortunato
