Have had GAS for a semi for a while now, The T386 is on my radar along with a few others, seems like such a lot of quality guitar at an amazing price point :D

But not sure whether it's worth holding out so I can save a bit more a get a higher spec'd model. Thoughts?

Same, it sure looks lovely! I prefer block inlays and gold hardware... don't know whether not having that would bother me or not :think:

Much better than it would play in the box, I've always found that way harder to do!
How can I be sure I'm here?
