A couple of weeks ago I bought a Norman cedar top second-hand but in excellent condition for $100 Cdn. Too good to pass up. Such deals are few and far between, but patience can be rewarded. The Seagull/Norman/S&P/LaPatrie/Godin stuff is great bang for the buck. I had an S&P a few years ago I wish I'd kept, but I made money on it after using it for a year or two. I also flipped a LaPatrie this year at a profit once I figure in the Gator case I kept. This Norman is better than both.

The import stuff in the $100 price range sucks imho, but there might be a hidden gem once in a rare while.

Peace, Mooh.
