I cant believe I sat here and read all these posts!
The debate can rage from now till the heavens fall, and the fact remains this. We each are individual, with individual needs and tastes. I play, wont say what I play, its pointless, what is most impportant is this, I play for the joy it brings me, the smile, or feeling of peace it may bring another, even if only briefly during that time. I ask you, "Can a price be put on what we feel when we share a gift, be it from an Ibanez Aw-200, a Martin D-35, a Taylor 800....and the list goes on, but, I have made my point.
