How can one afford such luxuries in this economic tsunami? This M2M New? $6700.00. Who among us has an extra grand to spend if you don't have to? Exactly. This guitar is for the budget-minded person with an eye for quality.

Who said that?

Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay, and you're OK.

Friends, this isn't your dad's day any longer. How's that? You've worked for (fill in the blank) for 22 years now, and what who? Downsizing? Severance package? You're no longer economically viable? Feel like a number? Feel this. Be your money's master, not its slave. Roger, please let me get on with this. Well, take the wheel then.

Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.

No doubt, Roger I'm riding the same train and telling the same tale. About this maple flamed top, Gibson Les Paul, of goodness? This Dave's Guitar Shop exclusive is in "exceptional" condition. (Think new.) Setup? Naturally? Fret-ware? There is nothing to be concerned about. "Lee, how do those Custom Buckers III pickups sound? Are they as ballsy as I hear?" People, they sound like God's wrath on men for killing one another.

This guitar has all the secret ingredients for success. AAA top with the Indian Rosewood fingerboard? Naturally. "Lee, I hear these come with vintage-correct hide glue." More than three animals could submit. Neck dims? .88" at the first and .98″ at the 12th frets, 8.10 pounds. Case? Naturally, do I do this any other way? Paperwork? By the boatload. Lee, you always have such a smooth delivery." What do you want me to do, stutter?

In closing, we discussed quality for less, tsunamis and economic downturns, condition and playability, and the wisdom of getting more and paying less. The outro?

Why not.

Money, so they say.
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away.

Is the root of all evil today?

Exactly......
