Thanks Bill- nice thought, but I'm still paying off my son's wedding reception on the credit card!
Also, a complete shortage of gigs over here at present means there's not much spare pocket money either...if I could score three or four gigs I could afford that 12, but I'm also too scared to buy off the net...I have to be able to try a guitar before buying.
At least that one on e-Bay doesn't have a de-tuner fitted...
