OK, hang on a sec, <smile> -just to set the record straight, that post was only to address the point of the reply to my opinion re: the instrument used for the modeler. I have absolutely no problem with people playing inexpensive instruments if they like them, and I completely agree with you in that regard. I teach on the cheapest strat copy we have in the store, and like it better than instruments seven times its price. So, it's just that personally, I don't really want to spend a whole lot of cash on something like this unless the instrument itself is much better in my opinion, since, then, after you've bought it, you're then stuck with it if it decides to flake out after a bit, or need a lot of work because of limited quality to begin with. <smile> -That's all... -Hope that makes sense.
