I've lost count of how many times I've longed for guitars given up in a trade. It is my firm policy, then, to strictly adhere to the G.A.S. and never ever get rid of a guitar again.

To find purveyors of nice specimens, I periodically peruse the "advertiser" section of Acoustic Guitar Magazine's site (www.acguitar I think) or search the dealer data base for such makers as Collings, Santa Cruz, etc. I've narrowed it down to a small list of dealers who frequently update their inventory data-Buffalo Bros, Mandolin Bros, Elderly, Podium, to name a few. Have fun.
