Life - I like that antique finish - I don't think they have that finish in the US models... It looks great!

Clansman - we had some differences - but hopefully we'll bump in to each other again someday! I'd pay him twice what the guitar is worth to get that thing back, for sentimental reasons. I'm sure that his attachment to it is stronger than mine though! It was just a fantastic guitar - he's got thousands of hours of playing on that thing - I really hope he held on to it and that it didn't end up in a pawn shop again... that would be a tragedy.

I quite playing for several years after that - sold him most of my gear, and then I ended up getting that white Epi in my avatar about 4 years ago (the one that I put a zebra pup in) and she really got me back in to playing. I have at least as much attachment to my current white LP's as I did for the Studio, so I'm not hurting too bad - although I would love to have her back.
