Damnation! I have been casually looking at ABGs for awhile now, but have never found one that really twisted my knickers. Until today. The Tacoma Thunderchief is AMAZING! And, to my surprise, I have no trouble with its 34" scale - the neck is perfectly shaped for my hand. The scary part is that I have about $2000 open credit on my MF credit card, and they have them on sale. It's a bit big to sneak in the house, though! Pfffft (GAS pains)...
