24 Nov 03 - 01:38 PM (#1060003) Subject: RE: BS: New Diet for Guitarists From: Willie-O Ah... Martin's last word in the line of Guitars For People With More Money Than Savvy. I think the economic theory is, Martin looked at what their most collectible instruments sell for, and compared that to the relatively puny amount that CF Martin & Co made from the same Guitars, and is taking a run at getting the "collectible" price right out of the shop. They probably won't appreciate, but who cares? I like koa-bodied guitars but for fifty grand U.S. I'd have expected Brazilian rosewood... Give me a Graf. He builds 'em to play and hear. W-O |

Rapire, you mean c'est a rire, but I suggest you never under-estimate your own sacredness. :>) Not to take anything too seriously, you understand, but you might be surprised. I expect to be. Hope springs eternal;.... A |

24 Nov 03 - 07:09 PM (#1060184) Subject: RE: BS: New Diet for Guitarists From: Lanfranc Kevin, I like the idea of an ambrosial guitar, only to be played by the sacred but starving! But a low-calorie Graf at a tenth of the price does have an appeal, though I've never heard one. To help you achieve your ideal GMI (Guitar to Mass Index), here is another site that may help Fine Guitar Consultants Alan |

Nice guitar, but that much cash would buy several handmades of choice with enough left over to buy a new truck to hawl 'em with. I can dream though. Peace, Mooh. |
