Subject: RE: Tech: Stefan Sobel Guitars
I went to the site. Some great looking instruments and some construction philosophy I agree with and appreciate. I even enjoyed the user comments.

But.

I can see the same and read the same at any builders site. Face it, they are gonna put out the best effort into their adverts if they have a half a brain. No one will say we do this the same old way as everyone else and I build them using mediocre wood and secondrate parts.

What I am impressed by is what I saw and heard today. I saw instruments obviously built by a craftsman with well matched woods and a creative eye for detail. And I heard accoustic instruments that sounded great and very accoustic with pick ups and direct amplification. That means more to me than a slick web site no matter how truthful it is.

Thanks Mooh, I am always in the market but not always in the money.
I think I may have to move a Sobell guitar to the top of my wish list.
