Gypsons are notorious for 'losing their heads'! You'd think that by now they would have figured out how to build them so the headstock doesn't snap off. :rolleyes: I got an immaculate ([u]no[/u] repairs!) 1984 Yamaha SBG1000 on eBay last year for $610. It's every bit as good as the one I bought new in '84. I passed up a Les Paul Custom to get that first SBG1000. LP's weren't even a consideration when I found the second one!
