I usually take every opportunity to plug Marc Beneteau acoustic guitars. I first played one at the London Guitar Shop (London Ontario, that is) while shopping for a Taylor. After 3 Beneteaus (6, 12, baritone) I still don't have a Taylor. I didn't buy from the shop however, because a visit to Marc, and long discussions about design and so on, meant I ordered direct. I know I/we have discussed this at some length in other threads, so I won't bore you with the details except to say that Beneteau guitars are of the finest calibre in sound, craftsmanship, appearance, and playability.

www.beneteauguitars.com (I think)

There's so many guitars to choose from beyond that threshold of quality which defines a fine guitar nowadays.

Peace, Mooh
