A legend and I love his namesake guitar! I passed on one that rang like a strat, as I didn't really have the cash. It was very inexpensive because it had been converted to lefty and back, leaving some filled in holes. It didn't affect the tone or playability at all.

Which one? The Trini Sig based on the 335 is nice; but really just a 335.  The Trini Sig based on the Barney Kessel Sigs is one of my favs.
