There seems to be a little misunderstanding here. First of all, this potential purchase is months away. I only wanted some opinions on theses guitars until i get a chance to sit down with one. Here in AZ, the only store that carries MusicMan stuff is Guitar Center (and i hate guitar center) and they rarely have MM guitars, usually just basses. I would never drop so much money on a guitar just based on peoples opinions, but until December, i don't think I'll be able to sit down with one. I'm just trying to do as much research as possible in the meantime...
