I believe that the guy who is Esteban definitly knows how to make money and I believe he is a pretty darn good guitar picker, but his guitars are pretty poor. My son-in-law was given (by my daughter...thought I'd taught her better) an Esteban Eldorado. It is the highest action that I have ever played. My fingertips are heavily calloused, but after7-8 minutes, I'm feeling the pain. It's got kind of a plastic finish over the wood. At first, I actually thought it was plastic. Even for a cheap cheap cheap guitar, it's poorly made in my view........I'm not knocking the man. His story is inspiring and his abilitiy is impressive, but his guitars suck. However, if these poorly made instruments actually do bring more folk into playing music, the that;'s good.
