I've spent most of my guitar playing years riffing metal on pointy things, but love guitars in general. Hollow, semi-hollow, solid, plastic, carbon fibre, aluminium, or just good old trees.
Sooner or later you figure out you must have something by late master Leo. I had a Mexican Strat that I loved and played mercilessly for two years until trouble hit and I pawned it off. As soon as I got my hands on some money I ordered a USA deluxe, a used one though, through a friend in the States.
While I waited for the guitar, someone locally was trying to get rid of this:
I saw it, had to have it, and bought it, at a somewhat unreasonable price but that's how it goes around here.
Then two weeks later another gentleman was trying to get rid of this for substantially less, but I had a Fender I never played to pick up from the mail, whatever, it was on the way...
I think you can guess how that ended
