That's a funny list of music venues and professional grade musical
instrument shops.

You're what, about 40 miles from Boston? How often do you drive into
Boston to see live, top-drawer professional musical performances? Once
every two years?

When I lived in Albany, we drove over to Lenox at least three times
one summer. The Julliard String Quartet is playing there later this
month...are you going? I would if I lived where you do...what is it, a
two hour drive?

I actually saw two Maldonado guitars for sale in a local music
instrument store in the DC some years ago. Got anything like that at
your shoppe? Armik plays a Maldonado...ever even *hear* of either, up
there in Duxbury?

Sorry to break your heart, but yes, I have heard of Maldonado guitars
and am familiar with the history of them. * You see, I've done some
research on guitars including the purchase of two comprehensive
encyclopedias dedicated to guitar brands, types, manufacturers and their
histories. *I study them just about daily.

That said, I'd have no reason or purpose to buy and inventory a
Maldonado. It would collect dust.
My budding music shop business is geared towards a range of instruments
of interest to the majority of people, not an elitist, narrow minded
snob who turns his nose up to anything that does not meet *his*
standards. *You know. Normal, decent people. * I also desire to offer
decent instruments that are affordable. * Currently the most expensive
guitar in my inventory is a mint, 2006 Martin HD28V. *It is a vintage
series Martin, built to the pre-WWII Martin D-28 specifications. * I
acquired it and another guitar from a professor (jazz composition) at
the Berklee College of Music in Boston who I had met for another reason
about a year ago. *He and his wife visited our home in Duxbury Friday
and we enjoyed a couple of hours discussing guitars and music in
general. * You see, we also have access to some cultural influences. *We
are just not snobs about it.

My questions were not about your music shop.
