"Made in the USA aka American Made"

"this puppy" 4X

I got nauseous reading it.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to pass on "that puppy" for now........even though it is """American Made"""

That dude really needs to learn to spell if he plans on ever being taken seriously.

Ah - I thought it was going to be one of those auctions from "Upstate Guitars"...

Grack. That one hits so many runaway buttons it took me three tries to get back to my monitor long enough to read it all.

LOL puppy is all caps as if it's a feature ie. "this PUPPY..."

He actually calls it "extremely heavy" and then "light as a feather" in the very next paragraph, not to mention calling it a "FIRM 9" and then a "FIRM 8" elsewhere. Which either means he doesn't grok "FIRM" or he dropped it while he was halfway typing the description.

Just realized how much I've come to hate the phrase "Holy Grail".

"Holy Grail" = "Mojo" = "Plays Like Butter" = "Highly Collectible" = One-of-a-Kind" = "vintage" = "Mint"/"Near Mint" = "Jimi (or Stevie Ray, Eric, EVH, etc.) Vibe!" = "Has Balls" = "Endless Sustain" = "100% original refret/refin" = "Celebrity Owned" = "Given to me by ___ _____(Insert celeb or famous maker/player name here)" = "Made in Japan with all USA Parts" = TOTAL B.S.

YMMV...(but I doubt it!)
