[Elspode]

To my ears and hands, there are worlds of difference between a high end acoustic and a cheaper model. I've never really been able to discern that same difference in electrics. Oh, sure, there are neck profiles I am more comfortable playing (original Strat necks and Gibson SG necks come to mind most often), and there are even some playability points that are present in more expensive electrics that I can appreciate, but I've played the $900 "starter" American Standard Strats and I've played the $2k American Standards, and I just can't see it somehow.

All this means is that, when I go finally get that Strat, it will be a $900 one. Hell, I had a Mexican Strat for a couple of years, and it played great. Sounded like shit, but it played very nicely.

Enjoy that 35, LJ. Sounds like you cut a great deal. I bought my HD 28 brand new at MARS before they went bust, and I still feel like it was worth every penny (and no, no one charges full list for anything in guitars anymore...I don't even know why they bother to note it anywhere).
