Mellotronists

Some more interesting quotes from a progressiveworld.net interview 
with Martin (Orford):

"I used to have a Mellotron, but as soon as the tapes deteriorated 
it never really sounded any good. The SampleTank Mellotrons sound 
like the brand new original must have sounded, and they are really 
spot-on."

Same damn thing happened to my Gibson Les Paul. As soon as the 
strings went bad, it sounded like crap. I wonder if SampleTank has 
some good guitar samples?
