it's just that his threads never went anywhere. He seems to live way out in the woops so he's not near any music shops and he doesn't seem to trust buying online.

So he just goes on and on about buying something but never does. Now, personally, I don't expect people to buy anything but the pointlessness got to be a downer. Oh, and the drunk posting and the weird belief that a high post count conferred some sort of "seniority". And... nah, well... 'nuff said.

Yeah, ok. I have a difficult time believing anyone could actually be that stupid, but the tardme links were eerily authentic.

The actual answer, in case daza is snooping, is neither. These guitars should be purchased on merit...

The most lifeless instrument I have ever played was a Mexi Strat. It had the tone of a damp sock. You could pluck a string and there was no sustain - it was like the strings were rubber. The body resonated as much a carpet tile does but with more midrange yuk.

Best review ever!
Unfortunately, there is now red wine on my screen.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
