I had a friend and client who chose a Kinkade 12-string acoustic above all other 12s in the world for a very important showcase, when he was prepared to spend literally anything to improve his chances. He raved about it. He loved it. But it did not make him rich and some months later when he was totally boracic he offered it to me for GBP 300 - but I had not got the money at the time either.

Another of life's great missed opportunities.

They are another name I check whenever I do an ebay search, but they never come up for sale - and that must say something about them too.
