My apartment in San Jose was burglarized in 1980. I lost a 1979 Gibson RD
Artist (not a great guitar) and a 1937 Gibson Super 400. (Which was an
immensely great guitar.)  I had the same issues about buying a Strat, so I
went with a 1980 or 81 G&L F-100 Series II and have never looked back. This
one is not mine, but looks identical.
