[TaoMaas]

I think this depends upon a person's opinion as to what constitutes a "great guitar". Some of us may label a Chinese-made Eastman as "great", whereas others might feel that nothing less than a guitar, hand-built to our specifications, is "great". Frankly, I think that the vast majority of what we have available to us these days would have passed for "great" back when I first started playing. lol
