Gads Willie-O what have you done to me? I can't take my eyes off that $17,779 (cdn) Bendetto Manhattan, with the European spruce top and fiddle-back maple back/sides and gold-plated tuners (!!) and abalone inlays .... oooooo .... this must be guitar heaven!

Gotcha Mooh - La Patrie/Simon and Patrick. Hope I can find them ... maybe I'll try the 12th fret too ... Toronto, right? But that might be just too deliciously dangerous ...

Thanks for the tips re Norman, mandomad. The ones I've tried were definitely lower-end, and I found the sound "tinny". I've heard some excellent players over the years using the more expensive models though!
