I reckon that this has gone a little off topic, I was just looking for an answer to a question..I wonder whether they asked the same of Keith Richards when he approached Fender and the Custom Shop to recreate some of his old Fenders, so he didn't have to take them on the road? I think there are plenty of people here who have guitars that might be considered a bit of a "luxury", but it's up to their wives to hassle them about that...I thought that this is where we come not to be hassled about our reason for buying guitars...
Just my Two Cents Worth!
