First of all, I love Lowdens, but that’s beside the point. If you are a guitar dealer, you need to carry and sell what your clients want, not what you would buy for yourself. Some dealers just don’t get that it’s a business.
As for the Sheehan’s. I was at TME in Lexington Saturday afternoon. I believe the have around 6 or 8 Sheehan’s out on the floor for sale. I lost interest with the long wait, but they are what they are. They are not Lowdens, and I never thought they would be (not at that price point). However, they are a good starting point for someone who can’t afford to spend even $5k or $6k on a Lowden, and wants that style of guitar. They are a great alternative to a Road Series Martin, or a lower end Taylor.
