yea but by the same token, shes an artist that is merely replicating what someone else did. If pamelina wasn't around someone else could have easily reproduced what hendrix did and given us what we have now. There is nothing special about her in that sense. I think to pay that amount of money for something that is not licensed by fender, when you can get one done from another builder for a fraction of the price is insane. You're paying for a name that essentially means nothing.
