Have to keep telling myself: "For pity's sake just save up the extra $300 and get the real thing!"

Last week I missed the chance to get a beat-up 80s Flying V at auction. Don't know whether I saved myself from expense and disappointment or missed a golden opportunity.

Conclusion: It's best to know the market well and know what you're doing and why.

I'd save the extra $300.00, I did the Epi route, put in Duncans, better electronics, and it sounded nice, but fell short. However I bought a Ibanez SZ720FM, it was a fine guitar, carved maple top, thick mahogany body. I put duncans in that and that was a great guitar. These are my very limited experiances with Epi's but i see in the ads that several Les Paul models actually use differant woods. Alders, veneers, so that is going to take away from the "Les Paul tone" Look for a priced right studio.
