Looks a bit like this one, but with a maple neck.

Last time I looked my various guitarist friends have ~ 12 of those things, they love them.

I was completing a transaction at Guitar Center a few weeks back, and while waiting for the register to actually do something, I started idly staring at the guitars on the wall behind the clerk.

Late 70’s Strat for $12,000 and a Tele (forget what year) for $17,000.

I’d like to think that playing one of those would somehow coax unseen talent out of me, like Robert Johnson at the crossroads. In reality, it would be the musical equivalent of me getting behind the wheel of a Rolls Royce and immediately ramming it into the side of a fertilizer silo.
