while stationed in Hawaii ten years ago, I bought a mountain (D-45)exactly like the one on the top this page: http://www.t-shiga.com/sub1-6-25.htm. It cost me 35 bucks and a set of strings, the next day in down town I saw a mountain D35 in a guitar shop for $800.00. Are they worth it? apparently in Honolulu. this is my main guitar, the ovation and gibson collect dust. Ya play what sounds best...
take care
