You know it's a copy. Just wait till the real thing comes along, then buy that.

Happy birthday. I guess your half expecting a letter from the Queen!

Lot of money. Can't play money though.

The Tokai will probably just as nice with some burst buckers in it.

My Trad may be up for grabs in a week or so, if not then a '76 Deluxe :rofl:

Thanks for the birthday wishes chaps. Jolly nice of you.

Slept on it and decided no... It's $7,000. I just can't do it. The Mrs gave it the green light too but I still decided no. I actually have a really nice Les Paul that I'm jolly fond of. I wouldn't be able to justify keeping it but don't want to sell it. Anyway, I came away with a consolation prize from the same seller.

Chap can't have enough amps.

Off to collect the Tokai now. Thanks again chaps.

Looks like tobacco burst which is ugly IMHO, and it's a lotta cash to put in one instrument, I think you've made the right decision :)
