"inspired by" 1964 Texan

But, whatever, I played one of these today at a local Sam Ash and was very impressed. Solid Spruce top and Solid mahogany back, lam Mahogany sides. Fit and finish looked good. Out the door, inc. Fla taxes, with a non epi hard case for $481. Wonderful bright sound. The shadow pickup system I did not test. Came this close..... Common sense kicked in (hate it when that happens) but really, another dread????
