Getting a clean one doesn't mean it will stay clean. My 89F was perfect the first few years then one day I was finding myself changing strings, turning knobs, doing just about everything I have read here now. I hate the f--ing gutar now, and the fact that Line 6, Yamana or whoever has responsibility now don't care to do anything about it just makes me pissed and furious. I'm actually thinking of crashing my 89F in an upcoming music video just to make my point....
