Mellotronists

Wow Gino,
   Those DePinto guitars are cool.  They're based on, what, the goya 
rangemaster?  Maybe the Galanti's?  cool that he's your "local 
luthier".  Mine is a guy named Rockin' Johnny or something, and, 
needless to say, I don't store my stuff there even long enough for a 
setup.  What happened to the EML systems from this auction?
