Something to consider... I had a '64 ES years ago when I was too
young and stupid to appreciate it. My "baby" now is a Heritage
535 IMHO it looks, sounds, feels and is built better than the
Gibsons and it cost me $1000 brand new, lovely flamed top and
back included. (list is $1700 I believe) It's worth a look
before plunking down the big dollars for a Gibson.

Noted. Thanks. It'll be a while, though. What I want and what
I can realistically afford are two very different things. ;-\
Also, when I do get some spare cash, I have quite a long shopping
list of other stuff to get. Some new recording gear, a small
guitar amp, and a better acoustic guitar for instance, would all
have priority over any new electric guitars or basses at this
point. Unless I win the lottery.... ;-)

Seems there's always a shopping list. I think I've been trying
to assemble my "ultimate rig" for at least 10 years now.
There's always something (dental bills, basement
renovations etc.) that eats up the available cash flow.
I still need a good single coil guitar (G&L at this point) and a
good acoustic (looking at Taylors) and I keep watching the price
of digital 8-tracks drop. I figure, at the rate I'm going, I'll
have all my toys just in time for my kid to inherit them. :)

My experience has been that you can't go too far wrong with a
G&L. A new acoustic is on my list too. I haven't played any
Taylors yet, but I've heard a number of people speak positively
other decks have, but if you've got to have 16-tracks, it's
rapidly becoming more and more affordable.
