Anyone want to buy this for my birthday...?

Very nice - I just can't bring myself to spend anything right now.

Go ahead and buy it for yourself - you deserve a nice birthday

I would if I could afford it right now, but I just bought a car and have no disposable income...

Did you use the cash for clunkers program?

Maybe the government could bail out Gibson too?! Drag in a perfectly good Pbass and get $750.00 towards a Tbird or new booteek Ripper

What if the bureaucrats ruled that the Ripper was the clunker? $:-\$

If the instrument market were the same as the car market, wouldn't we all be playing Ibanez whilst making fun of the Gibson/F***** players?

I'd be playing Volkswick or Warwagen, "Vorsprung durch Technik".

No, we'd be pressured to play something acoustic (and not made of wood), to minimize the environmental damage and save energy.
