You might as well get yourself a real guitar for that price

I LOVE the soundhole ring, but little else.

Thirty grand and it sports the ugliest tuners known to man.....

[Lonnie]

Not to my taste, and for that price I could buy another Goodall, a couple of Terry Kennedys, pay off all my credit cards, finance a new CD, and take all my Soundhole friends out to dinner.

See John, Ryan get's his guitars to be in tune when all the prgheads are lined up. That probably accounts for about $20,000 of the $30,000 price.

I would rather have his base model. Or Terry's newest guitar. That bling is too much for my tastes.

Oh I love it all. Except for that funky beveled edge with the holes in it. And the pointed cutaway.

(And the tuners are not my favs. But I could live with them. )

But pretty much everything else is bee-aye-ute-ee-full.

I'm glad there are beautiful things like this made in the world. It's not about making music. It's about the idea of music, and sculpture, and craftsmanship, the age of man, and being set apart and truly special.

I love it.

They should come with a warning to wear sunglasses.

I reckon I've never been awed by added stuff like inlays and rosettes. I love me some beautiful wood grain, and I am an avowed sucker for a 1959 flamed maple Les Paul with no more bling than normal Gibson position markers and their weirdo tuners. Let the wood do the talking, and, no, none of you are allowed to take that out of context. Not even Jeff.
