I do have to admit that I have heard some very fine guitars besides the Taylor. Moonchild has a nice Larrive, Midchuck has a nice Collings, and a guy in Florida has a nice Collings. He wouldn't let me play it, but, it sounded good to me. I was surprised at how much Ricks old Martin had to offer. It sure doesn't belong in the back seat. Jeds' guitar is a sweetheart too.
