No thanks.

How's it different than the Laguna? I appreciate that they're finally trying something (semi) new, but I didn't think the Laguna sold that well, so why revisit it?

Of course, this makes my book obsolete!!! Time for a 2nd edition!!!
Paul--just received your book a couple of weeks ago from Amazon. Wow! What an amazing book! It was well worth the wait. I think you've really set a new standard in guitar books. It reminds me of the Dorling Kindersley series of Eyewitness Books which I feel have transformed visual encyclopedias. Well done.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought the Lagunas were solid body and were equipped with humbuckers.

R TP, hi gains, chrome hardware, and standard mounted controls with a pickguard.
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

The combination of a fresh new look in concert with a classic design. Bravo!
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
