The website is http://www.woodsongguitars.com They are the manufacturer, and list much information on woods etc, used in building the guitars. A friend is looking at them, and I told him I'd check with the Mudcatters, as I know you all are deeply into the folk and acoustic music, and I have gotten song questions answered here before. Thanks for any help pbb |

They are a sub-line of our company Gold Tone (goldtone.com) Paul Beard & I designed these instruments. To my knowledge, they are the only affordable pro guitar available with a lacquer finish and a bolt on neck,,,similar to Taylor.. They presently are available factory direct and will be debuted at 2008 winter NAMM.. |

I suggest, Wayne, you take some of your guitars out where musicians can play them head-to-head with what you perceive to be the competition. |

There are plenty of decent instruments around that price point - Crafter/Art & Lutherie/Simon & Patrick/Seagull/Cort/Faith. Even low-end Martins. Having said that, I'd be deeply worried about buying an instrument where I couldn't try it first, nor even try another example of that manufacturer's work. PBB, which one was your mate interested in? Tell him not to buy *anything* with a plywood top unless he's played it first - mostly they're cheap crap. As for the others, checking the guitar shops should find other stuff at equivalent prices which he can try before he buys. Graham. |
