On quick glance, the site is quite nice, with a wealth of information and a chance to view some stunning guitars. My only critique is that I'm not a fan of new windows opening when I click a link within a site. The advantage to having it work this way is that the main page is still easily accessible, but I find that I often "link hop" so I click links on the new windows that open, and before I know it, I've got 5 new browser windows on my screen.
Other than that, I think the look is rich and well done, with great content.

Gerald, I always enjoy browsing your website - all looks very good. I personally don't mind the links opening a new tab, but I think that's just how I like to do it (I like that if I've started one of the embedded videos I can listen while opening another tab to browse more!).
I did not know you had added the Petite Concert (OO) to your body styles - very nice shape and size. I think all functional aspects of the site are good - easy to find shapes, appointments, "packages", terms, and pricing. Nice job all around. And I still think the Wild Rose is the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen! Warmly, Phil

I love it! I just can't stop looking at your guitars. I don't know where you get your abalone or what you do to it, but it's the most beautiful I've seen.

Hey, Gerald, I have been a big fan of your ravishingly beautiful guitars ever since the first look. I'm going to spend some quality time on your website. What a classy production! Excellent graphic design, good writing, superlative photos...
It's back to the woodshed for me! Congratulations on the new site!

Quick aside - I control that function from my browser, and it's not just a site driven function. Might want to check out the preferences/properties on your browser. |

Hi Gerald...
Nice upgrade. Easy to navigate, and the embedded movies are great as well. |

Nice site. Thanks for the sound samples but wish you'd just post the prices for guitars in stock rather than making me call. I own multlple customs, but won't call to find out the price of one. If I've got to call, I assume I can't afford it, which isn't always the case. Either way you lose me as a potential customer when I've got to call. That may not be a bad thing, depending on who you talk to.

Hi John,
Thanks for the input and I appreciate you checking out the site. I consider all feedback so thanks for yours. It's pretty easy to guess the approximate prices if you look at my prices page. Posting prices is a difficult decision. There are reasons both ways and not posting prices can work in your benefit. That's all I can go into it here.
