I bought my first JTV-89f as a kind of gamble, but when I got it I was over the moon. So much so that I bought a second one as a spare. You should always take a spare for each guitar "sound" you need at a gig. So now I only need to take two guitars in total to any gig, instead of two acoustics, two strats, two les pauls, two others for different tunings on the locking trem... etc.
