Thanks for your OLP comments everyone. Great to hear about the exciting, new Sterling line-up.
Back to the "bargain" part of my subject line. When a product line goes away (like OLP), I sometimes wonder if I'll regret not buying one; "back when they were still cheap."
For example, the Squier '51 guitar (discontinued by Fender in 2006) has picked up a lot of fans lately and appreciated in price. The '51s have almost become a "cult classic" due to their versatility, surprisingly good quality and affordability for modifying.
OLPs offer a reasonable price/value combo in entry-level guitars and the word "bargain" certainly applies. I was hoping there was a "cult classic" hidden in the OLP line - with an upside potential like the Squier '51. If there is an OLP like that, I've missed it.
Sounds to me like a Sterling is a much better bet to appreciate in value and reputation as time goes on.
