You know what struck me as odd when I was there?
The separation of the big manufactures, Small companies, and importers/suppliers from Asia (china especially).
Some of the small companies had beautiful guitars, but nothing out of the ordinary so I picked up business cards from every company I though was interesting every one of these small companies with guitars that were probably manufactured by the Chinese suppliers any way were like 5 grand a guitar.
Don't get me wrong - if you slave over a piece of wood with a hand saw and a chisel I think you have every right to charge that kind of money.
But the fact is they probably ordered from the overseas suppliers or own their own CNC milling machine. I'd rather just order direct from the overseas suppliers or guys like Robert - at least they are honest about their products _________________ When someone asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?"
