I too wondered if I'd be kickin' 30 years later when I was 20! I also certainly didn't expect my Guild to be around then also. I don't know If I will still breathin' 30 years from now, but certainly hope I will and also have hands that can still plunk away.

I was over at the music shop yesterday. Did play a Blueridge (again). It certainly did sound nice. Got into a big debate with the guys there about these mass produced instruments. At the $800 cdn price I still think it is overpriced. let alone the markup that the marketing guys over here are collecting. At that price I think I would rather save an xtra $200 and buy a Seagull Artist, or low end Taylor. Hell, I'd buy another Seagull S6 and save money. These sound sweet, also you wouldn't have to go out and drop another $800 every 5 years to replace a guitar that has fallen apart.

Yup, my grandson could make use of a geetar that was once mine. He probably won't have a decent paying job to afford one. All the jobs will be over in the Orient.
