Subject: RE: Your 'dream' instrument, $ not a factor
There is aluthier in Sydney Oz named Gerard Gilet who has been makingfine guitars for many years. He watches you play different guitars he has made, takes a good long look at your hands and the style you play. The ONLY guitar I would cheerfully swap m,y old Martin HD28 for is a Gilet made just for me.

Gerard rebuilt an old 1957 Maton Electro supreme for me many years ago and undercharged me. he recently did a bunch of work on my Martin and same story. I once watched him stick atiny spokeshave on the end of a stick and using a dentists mirror he sculpted the inside of a Martin to get it to sound right. In 30 years I have never played a finer guitar.
