Location: Midland, MI | I took the list out. I figured I only had two Kaman quality guitars in there, and with the anticipated addition of the Steinberger I just couldn't keep abusing the good readers of this board with that kind of sub-par stuff.
As to the Cropper, yes, they discontinued it last year, I believe. The funny thing is that when I bought mine (last summer, NOS 1999 model) I did so because it was a tele-shape that put out some very nice jazz tones from the neck pup (and it was dirt freaking cheap). I didn't even realize that it was a 'Steve Cropper' thing. I guess he played a Peavey Generation for a while, then they did the Cropper Classic design with him, and now he's back to Fenders. The funniest part is that I'm not a fan of 'signature' guitars and if I had known that 'Cropper Classic' referred to him, I probably never would have tried it out in the first place.
Phew, that was a lot to type. ;) |
