Ian, you could be right. Must be a bit out of date - I bought my Lowden new 12 years ago for a grand. Doesn't time fly? Come to think of it, it is insured for £1500.I think your figure of £2.5K is a bit steep, thought; there's an immaculate rosewood 35 on sale on ebay right now for £1.5K. Still, I hope you're right - not that I ever have any intention of ever selling my lovely, full-bodied beauty (the guitar's quite nice as well).
