I think these kind of instruments should always include the total weight.....kinda like to know if I'm hefting 20# or 40# on my shoulder/back. |

Still don't get it. |

Five guys to fret the neck.
One to strum.
One to fingerpick.
One to pick leads.
Add one drummer and we got us a band! |

I wonder who has an arm long enough to reach all the way down to the controls. |

His price is about a two grand less than the msrp of a new one. Man, I hate these doubleneck GAS pains... :) |
