Wanna buy a bridge in Brooklyn?  I've got one for sale cheap!  Your dealer is 
either stupid or a crook...or both.  Gibson has been pulling that one for 
years.  They don't want to advertise they're building them with balsa, so 
they call it chromyte.  Even the guitar mags have made fun of them for it.  
Do some research if you don't believe any of us.
