That reminds me of a guy here...I would guess that he rides probably 300+ days a year and this is NW Nebraska, almost South Dakota...Plus this dudes works shifts and sometimes takes off at 11pm when is freezin ass cold out!
Mine is going to cost right around $1100-1200 all put together. I got alder body, birdseye on maple neck with floyd, all gold hardware, aldrich pups, and paint from the guitar reranch applied by me...kinda pricey, but its exactly what I want.
I have the X pattern in my Avatar Vintage as well. It sounds good, but over the last year I have liked the T75's less and less. Actually, I plan on swapping them out so it's all V30's...
