Guitars of the Past - Part 4

My first electric was a Hondo copy of a Les Paul, paired with a Fender Vibro-Champ amp (both purchased used). The Hondo may have been a decent enough Les Paul copy when it was new, but by the time I got it, it wasn't in the best of shape - it wouldn't play in tune and made various rattling noises. I don't remember now if I traded it in or sold it outright, but in any event I didn't have it long. The amp wasn't bad, but it was neither very powerful nor very versatile; it probably went away the same time the guitar did.

Wish list, part 1

Number one on the wish list: another nylon-string guitar. I haven't had one in a while, and there are times when a nylon-string would work better than anything else. I don't have any specific model in mind - just something comparable in quality to the Larrivee OM-03. The Pavan guitars look like they might be good possibilities.
