Location: Cicero, NY | ...was early for my daughter's swim meet in a neighboring town that I'm rarely in so I wandered into their mom and pop geetar shop. There on the wall was brand new, factory refurbished '03 Collector among the 50 or so others (maybe only four of which I considered picking up). Never played one before but I gotta tell ya - this thing was great. Seriously overpriced I think (asking $999) but played great. The neck was perfect (anybody know the profile on that neck? I gotta write that one down!), amp'd it just rang some great chords and there was a kid in the next room who put down a Lukather model to come in and ask what the heck I was playing.
If anyone hasn't but gets the chance to play one, do it. Great guitar. :) |

Location: closely held secret | I've done that in music stores too, Weas. Walked over to people and said, "What the heck are you playing?". Didn't have anything to do with the guitar, necessarily... |

| There's a long story that goes with the 2003 collector refurb. that has been discussed here several times. There was a time when the refurb was going for $799 new. I don't believe they sold very quickly even at that rate. Personally, I thought it was an excellent guitar, but the general guitar playing public didn't seem to feel that way. |
