 True. However on the side of chops, it's interesting that someone like Auger who would have no problem moving his equipment, chooses a chop. I'm wondering what added features he put in his rig to engance his tone. Which perhaps if it were an original B, he may not have chosen to alter.

Even with bad phone-cam audio Auger's playing is still comin' thru. Nice! 
 

But really, how much would a chop like that run somebody? 

I mean,isn't there a ceiling one would hit before they stood back and said, 
"hey wait a minute, for lower than the ticket price I could fix/restore this 
thing and get a new set of roll or kari's/etc".
