I owned a Fender Closet Classic for a couple of months before finally selling it... I really did love the guitar but psychologically I couldn't get past the fact the guitar was built to look like it was already beat up and I spent $2000 on it. Plus I was younger and kind of needed the money, one day I would like to get a nice Fender that looks brand new so I can beat it up
Also, Mr. Dave... the $100 Rondo Special is playing beautifully still, been recording a lot with it
