Very nice. Impressive skills. Minor point, but those are acoustic CE's,
meaning they have cut-away bodies and electronic pickups. The transmitter
can be seen sticking our of the end of the body. I couldn't quite make out
the headstock, but they look like Martin D-45's or similar. So .....

I am continually impressed with the number of people who come into the shop
and can play guitars with considerable skill. The shop is attracting many
of the bands that perform on the South Shore and Cape. Although most are
electric guitar players and use electronic enhancements in their bands, many
often pick up one of the acoustic Taylors or Martins and can play equally as
well in either classical or modern, finger picking style.

I love hearing them played, particularly the Martins, from the "listener's"
location. When playing one, you don't hear the richness of sound they
produce compared to sitting in front of one, listening.

An electric, enhanced with a nice, warm chorus effect is also very pretty to
listen to.

No argument from me on any of your points. There's only good music or
bad music; style or type of music does not matter. Same is true of
musicians.

I've made an interesting discovery in this new hobby/business.

True musicians ... the artists.... are not concerned with the value of
their gear anywhere near as much as the common trait they all have .... the
search for "their" unique sound. My son and I picked up on this early and
as a result are focusing our efforts on finding unique, quality instruments
that appeal to that market, rather than the standard, run of the mill Les
Paul Standards and the like that you find in Guitar Center and other large
retailers. The PRS Archtop II I just acquired is a good example, as are
the Rickenbackers and the Martins.

A guy from Boston who plays professionally came in yesterday to try out one
of the guitars we had.
He liked it and went out to his car and brought in a beautiful, Deluxe
Series Amercian Stratocaster. I had never seen a Fender like this. Top
notch all the way, with an ebony fretboard, lockable tuners,
special raise gold logo, two humbuckers plus two noiseless pickups. Body is
stunning in maple with no pickguard. Top of the line, limited production
Fender that is worth considerably more that the guitar he tried out and was
interested in. Offered me a square trade, which of course, I accepted.

It's the amateurs that haggle about prices. The artists just want their
sound.
