Go to hell, Hall.

You contribute nothing to the music portion that any amateur/beginner wouldn't already know.

You just might be a money grubbing lawyer who plays a piece of crap guitar, also, I figure. All talk and zero talent, ability, or experience.

freightdawg, I also know REAL people who currently own newer low end Martins. I don't see them falling apart in their hands. I see and hear them making decent sounding music on them.

And I never see them at garage sales or flea markets, like your common Yamahas and other stuff sold in guitar packs complete with strap and pick.
