Cowboy, many thanks for your message; guess like me I realised my Yamaha has lasted 29 years and if I only ever bought one more guitar and kept it that long it would be my last. Now I've definitely realised it isn't going to be just one! I'm making a list and trying to determine which I get first (i.e. those that may be gone forever, like the 918e First Edition or 814ce NOS) against what I can get later, assuming that not all the ranges get Andy Power'ed before I get them sitting pretty in my room (I'm realising there needs to be room for a 600 in there somewhere!). The upgrade (?) to the 800's may or may not be an improvement depending on personal point of view - but one thing is for sure, it threw me having spent several weeks/months deciding that I liked the 800/900 sound! Im due a business trip to the Middle East next week and envisage a first purchase before then, so I have something to look forward to playing when I get back, so watch this space!
