        <![CDATA[ If you had the option to spend the money for a new guitar and had these two (or you already had money down on one) as the two choices, which would you pick? my
mother informed me today that I have to choose between the two. I totally understand that you just can&#39;t shell out about 5k for both, but I hadn&#39;t
really given it much thought until now.

House is Rockin

You really got me (not my choice. other guitarist wanted to do it.)

After thinking about it, why don&#39;t you get a new amp?  Find someting like a Tony Bruno or something similar that has a killer sound.

			<description><![CDATA[ I think if I had 5k to throw around I&#39;d choose neither of these two guitars, but as this is <strong>your</strong> choice You might want to sit and play
both for a while to see how they feel. If you are going to use these guitars to gig with you want to be sure you love the sound. And bring your amp to the
store. That way you&#39;ll hear the tone through your own gear and it gives you a point of reference to judge the overall sound by.  Some say the proto is a
bit harder to play with... ]]></description>
