Yeah, Elderly is unique little shop, can be dangerously expensive to visit though. Seen the old Gibson factory sometime during the 50s to young to appreciate, but it was better than a day of elementary school.
The Mexican "Players Series" are exceptional values.
When Fender built their Mexican factory I could take a Strat, Tele, "J" or "P" that was $200 dealer cost and with a few upgrades and a few hours work it would rival the American Standard.
