You're most welcome to it! I enjoy seeing them here, reading about the ins-and-outs almost as much as having one here :wink:

Manny Charlton said in an interview at that time that he started playing the Washburn on tour, when he realised how expensive his old Les Paul became... he also said that he slapped himself for putting a BMW sticker on the Les Paul and ruined some part of the value by doing so. :)
