Scrump

Where are you based? What is your budget? If it is a guitar for life, there might be a luthier within reach who could build something just for you. When I was approaching 50 I decided I would like something to keep until my decline. I tried some Fyldes, Martins and Taylors and didn't think the money was worth spending, they didn't seem to give a £1000-£1500 worth of extra value to what I already had. In the end I took a gamble with a luthier I had no experience or knowledge of but now have something that is quite special. It looks good, sounds gorgeous and plays beautifully and the money was worth spending.
