I don't doubt it; I've heard similar testimonials many times. I know I was the uncommon loser in the QC lottery, and I actually agree with the point you were making (honestly, if G&L ever make a leftie Tribute L-2500, I'll probably buy another ticket). Fender's Squire and Mexican lines must be taking a battering from the likes of Sire, Spector, Sadowsky and others moving aggressively into that mid-tier space.
