Another note from my friend:
i just took a look at the discussion. about all i'd have to add is i don't think there's a better bargain going anywhere than the silver creek guitar at musicians friend. it's no substitute for a gibson, but for what it is it's truly the most amazing value i've ever seen in a guitar. it reminds me of the time consumer reports had connoisseurs test a group of cheap and gourmet wines. the pros picked the $30 bottle and $20 bottle over the $100 bottle of dom perignon. i think a blindfold test playing of the silver creek guitars vs martin or taylor would get a similar result. bob
