I have three F5's. One worth $700, one worth $2000, and one I built. Not much difference between them. The one I built stays in tune the best, and you know how that goes.

Thanks Dave. As an artist yourself I'n sure you know that I was the model for the famous Old Dude Descending Staircase painting. I don't think Pablo ever cut off any of his own body parts, just those of his models which he delighted in attaching in unusual places. Now I have to get in my van and go.
