                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey all!  I've been playing about a year, done a lot of lurking around these forums, learned a L-O-T!!  Thanks to everyone!  I've got a dilemma here I hope y'all can help me with.  What I have here in front of me is a Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo AND a 60th Anniversary American Strat--the 'limited edition of 150' white blonde one that Sam Ash sells.  Both of em are great!  Problem is I can only keep one.  I know I need to go with the one that works best for me...but I hope some of you can give me some advice.  I'm 35 years old and I'm not into serious thrashing.  Hershel Yatovitz (Chris Isaak's guitarist--and Chris himself) is my main inspiration.  I'd like to learn to play some blues as well.  My amp is a Vox AD100VT.<br><br>OK, the question: which do you guys suggest I keep?  The Ric is 300 bucks less than the Strat.  ($999 vs $1299)]]></content:encoded>
