One of my theories is "don't settle for less". If it's not want you want, you may regret it later. But that's still a lot of money for what it is, IMO | ||||

I say blow the cash, but don't buy the DDR thing if you have any doubts whatsoever.The most expensive things I have ever bought (guitar, bass and laptop) I wanted for years, make sure it's not just a whim that you might regret. Yuk, I sound like my Dad | ||||

Really-really-super-magic-special-fantastical-white boy-old fart-off topic question.lol. What kind of guitar did you buy? I used to collect and one of my side lines is repair-restoration and customizing of guitars and other stringed instruments. Not as much into it now but I used to be able to quote serial number lists for late fifties Les Paul Special and pre-cbs stratocasters and production totals as well for obscure guitars and amps. | ||||

Does it have that oh so cool racing stripe the originals had? At the moment, my main guitar is a les paul I heavily customized with dimarzio super hot humbuckers, gold plated hardware and a custom sparkle finish I did myself. It's a multisparkle finish on an olympic white undercoat. When the light hits it, it reflects it with a rainbow effect. It came out very nice. I usually run it through a vintage fender deluxe tube amp. You know, the one with the ox blood grill cloth and the cream tolex cover. Sounds oh so warm and SHWEET!!! | ||||

I have a black '77 Telecaster and a black '73 Rickenbacker 4001 bass. I used to have one of those cheap Epiphone Les Pauls (it was cheap but nice to play) and a black Duosonic which I looked ridiclous with because it had a three quarter length fretboard and I'm quite tall. The two I have now I've wanted since being maybe 10 or 11, buying them was the culmination of two-summer's work when I was at school  | ||||

I currently have three amps. A mid 50's Gretsch, an early 60's Ampeg and of course the late 50's Deluxe. I also have one of the first guitars that gretsch produced when they coverted some of their factories in the early 1930's from Banjo and Drum mftg to acoustic arch-top jazz guitars, the Les Paul, a Fender Jazzmaster from late 60's, a Danolectro guiotar from the early 60's and a fender strat standard that is also customized. I used to have a total of 23 guitars but had to give most up when I moved from New Jersey to AZ. Damn!  | ||||

| You'll have to make sure you'll deal more damage than I do to myself with my nunchakus. Constant bruised arms since I bought a pair.. | ||||

| myname i once hit my elbow with a pair and i couldn't straighten out my arm for at least a month. also i hit my left knee rather hard and the rest of my body got used to being hit by them. | ||||

Thats why most students begin with a practice set made of foam covered wood or plastic. Less chance of knocking yourself out. Personally, I've always appreciated the damage a knowledgable practisioner could deal out with nunchukas or kamas, but have always preferred my nine section whip. I feel it's much more versatile and has a foot or more in reach advantage as well. Plus their made of steel.  | ||||

| i never wanted to practice with a plastic pair they're too light. I practiced with only solid wood. | ||||
