Jed - What always suprises me about this area is the lack of selection in the guitar stores. If you do find an OM - 000 - or 00 sized guitar you have to wade through 25 or 30 "D"'s to get to it. Also - I love Martin's - I have two of them - but I'd sure like to try out a few other brands while I'm at it. And don't get me started on the mandolin selection in Dallas and Ft Worth.
