...and make sure it's LOADED. As mentioned in THIS THREAD, Gibson has come out with a Clapton "Beano" LP Standard, and they're starting to hawk it at MF. You know you're in trouble when they won't even quote a price, and refer you to a phone number where you can speak to one of their "Private Reserve guitar advisors". Yeah, right--probably to hook you up with a bank, so you can take out a second mortgage to pay for it....

For the independently wealthy among you:

And I like how it's gonna come in three varieties--funny, I only thought EC had one! Collect all three and be the envy of your (fellow psycho) friends.
