Thread Name: Stock a music store: which guitars?
Subject: RE: Stock a music store: which guitars?
Wilco48, I don't know about the bluegrass jammers where you are, but at the bluegrass jams I frequent, the mediocre players mostly play the mediocre guitars and the better pickers play the Collings, Santa Cruz's, and the Martin standard series from the D-18 on up.

Guest, Berserker Nordstrom, you missed my point. A Sam Ash or a Guitar Center would not be the place to find a decent classical guitar. And this Rosewood place you are raving about would not be the place to find a Martin D-45 or a Santa Cruz Tony Rice model. Or a Gibson J-200.

Wilco48, you can carry all of the mediocre brands you want. You will appeal to mostly mediocre players. With few exceptions Asian imports are not often found in the hands of most discriminating pro musicians.
