In the US, I don't think you will be able to find them in stores. GC and Sam Ash only seem to sell the hotter sales-ticket GK and straight C models. I had to order both the Crossover and the Parlor from Musician's Friend. They
are very nice guitars, though, and very comfortable to play. My preference for the Motif right now is because I find the dimensions, sound and feel so conducive to vigorous-picking folk and ragtime pieces. I've also got one Kremona Sofia S63CW because it has a cutaway, together with the slightly narrower nut width and truss rod, which are features I like. The acoustic sound of the Kremona is very rich and sweet indeed, considering it's part laminate. Only the top is solid (cedar).
