Well the studio lite costs 1325 already and that is the most I want to spend 
anymore. I used to buy much more expensive guitars but then they never got 
used as I was afraid to drop them etc. Now by staying around the 1000 dollar 
mark I get guitars I actually use and don't spend all my time worrying wether 
it gets scratched or damaged. I use the mexican tele a lot since I put in the 
vintage series pickups. the same ones on the 52 reissues. I like the tele so 
much that is why it is finally time to get a good humbucking guitar which to 
me is a les paul. Here in this country a new les paul standard starts at 1700 
and goes up from there. I just don't want to spend that much anymore. So I 
will get a studio or studio lite. But not till next month. I am doing my 
final price commparisions etc.
