Good point Talbot.
Good equipment is not necessary expensive nor is expensive equipment necessary good.
I spent a fair chunk of change for my ES-339 ... but it fits me like a glove.
It was also about a third the price of the custom shop LP that was hanging beside it.
What a thing of beauty it was ... but it did not sound near as sweet to my ear as the ES-339.
