Not really. Had a chance to visit spain while in the USAF and bought one at that time (convluted story). The $6000 figure is the retail price if you buy it without any discount here in the USA.

Of course now there are luthiers everywhere. Some people believe that the best luthiers are now living in the USA, butits always a matter of opinion when you get to that level. Segovia switched luthiers several times in his career, IIRC. > > Nothing like a good handmade guitar. > > I can bet what your mantra is... > To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
