RE: whammy pedals /true tremolo

["future perfect" <artmusic@gte.net>]

 True, this is the 'Spirit' line which was reserved for imports made of
(gasp) all wood. For this price, I am guessing that they are imports as
well, but hey, even the Spirit line sold for over $500 when new. Put some
decent pickups in, and you have a cool guitar. Great- see what you've done?
I wanna buy one!
