First off--you should precede your subjec tline with FS: so people know what this is about.

Secondly--if you love the sound so much, why are you selling it?

Kurt. Thanks for the advice on the FS in the headline and fixing it in
the . I'm a first time newsgroup poster, live and learn.... The
reason I'm selling it is because I found an amazing ES-335 at Elderly
http://www.elderly.com/vintage/items/40U-3597.htm that I now have to
pay for. I don't usually like it when people say why they are selling
it (my dog had kittens so I need a new basement, whatever) because
most of the times they sound like they're trying to elicit sympathy. I
know what you mean though "I've got three other strats and this one is
hands down the best". Then, I wonder a little. I bought the 610 while
recording my band's record and it gave, as much as anything, a
psychological boost to the proceedings. It just felt and sounded real.
The U87 didn't hurt either. It really does something intangible as
well as sound amazing. The band is on "vacation" now ;^( and I'm back
to playing everything myself in my studio, and when it's just me, for
me, I'm much more concerned about how well the entire vision was
realized than the incremental difference in sound quality. I will
always be more frustrated by my limitations as a musician than I will
the limitations of my gear. I'm about songs and man, when I sat down,
while waiting for a friend, and played that 335, the hits just kept
comin' and it was over...$$ Sorry to go on so long about this. Thanks
again. Mike Gentry www.shiningfarmer.com
