Not that it's in your price range anyways, but just to back up Epi's... The Epiphone Sheraton is quite an excellent guitar. One of my friends, guitarist of almost 10 yrs, bought one and he even had the option of a strat. Another one of my friends owns own from the 80's I believe when Epiphone was seperate from Gibson. It is an awesome guitar. Just thought I'd throw that out there. :rolleyes:
