I have seen some high end brands in Spain running 500-900 euro per kg. US is running about $40 for 2.5oz, which is in the same ballpark. I'm cheap, so I wait for Costco to have serrano on sale for $99 for a whole leg.

jamón serrano?
pata negra es muy cara. 1kg = 1 Tbird
For those trying to follow along, here’s a rough translation of the conversation…
Stealth: Jelly on Ham?
Chuck: Preferably on corn fed hogs
Stealth: Hogs with black legs are very expensive, they cost as much as a Tbird.
Chuck: They’re cheaper here.
Fix your magic decoder ring, you have the last line backwards. The rest is pretty solid.

Didn’t we just discuss not being an enabler? Or did I get that backwards?What that means is, that you should buy a '64

I’m into gateway Thunderbirds. Started with an Epi IV…jonesing for a VP….haven’t had withdrawals demanding a Greco…yet, but y’all aren’t helpingI wasn't part of that conversation...............You know you want one.
Glad you had a good time.The show was great!
But otherwise it was fine. Uber to & from The Troubadour cost as much as the round-trip Amtrak ride though
Well, Uber drivers don't various sources of gov funding, so that likely has something to do with the cost. Amtrack is an odd "business."
have you ever played a late 60’s II?What that means is, that you should buy a '64
I played JIO’s 64 briefly at Winters once and man oh man…

Skip the VP, go straight on to the Greco, you won't be sorry.

Well, I was thinking about driving to Santa Cruz (bringing some dresses/Thunderbirds) just to try one, that is, if you know of someone that would let me try it out.
funny you say that because i was looking at VPs when considering a reverse and then remember you raving about the Greco…almost went for a II but opted for a IV (found mine in UK) because at roughly the same price, I could have two instead of one of those monster humbuckers…..thrilled I went in that direction…..Thank You..
This what you mean? There are lots of choices.

I have one as well, the pickup on the Greco......Just comes from another Planet.
That one was already sold, but just wanting to see if I was on the right track. I see 1988 and then some from Japan...my head hurts...but my wallet would hurt more.Buy, Buy!
