dead right Auggie ..

and as for my opinions on
profiteering speculative investment guitar dealers
constantly muscling in on true players and hobbyist collectors,
throwing their money around and rapidly distorting and raising
the market value & 2nd hand prices for previously affordable
'unpopular' brand names..

eg UK Shergold guitars..
10 years ago £50 - £150
London Denmark St dealers called them shit and not worth the balsa wood they were sawn from..

today.. Shergold..
vintage guitars.. prime examples of hancrafted
traditional English craftmanship..
£700 to you sir.. and worth every penny..
guarranteed to be a valuable investment..

bollocks !!!!
