Maybe you’re right; maybe I’m wrong. The beauty of such a big forum is that we see there are multiple sides to things and opinions vary widely. That’s why makes the world go ‘round. As long as we’re respectful and not bashing anyone, what’s the problem with a little discussion? I don’t have anything else to add that hasn’t already been said. Maybe others do. But documenting this publicly and getting four pages of conversation makes it worthy enough. And if you disagree, that’s honestly wonderful and part of what makes us human. But there’s usually value in each and every comment if you ponder it long enough.

There is no right or wrong Zoo. There are many brands of guitars that I would never be caught infirm playing because I think they don't arise to the quality of what I prefer to play, but I would never take the time to deride something that someone else might feel reverence for. I play many brands of guitars professionally and use them as tools to make a living. I really couldn't care less about what someone feels about a particular brand and have the same feeling for someone bashing Eastman, Gibson, Taylor or other.

This whole thread can be summarized in 3 words. First World Problems. Perhaps there are some other things more worthy of our focus? Just a thought.

However, there are more important things on a Friday. My end-of-week golf and Margarita festival (every Friday) is immanent so I need to change into something gaudy and get ready for the 10-minute ride to the golf course.

I understand that Martin, Taylor and Gibson are the three largest American manufacturers of guitars so it is expected that that is what many people are buying and that those buyers are pleased with their choices. There is also a fairly vocal group of Eastman owners, many of whom seem to have a vested interest in the "Eastman is all handmade" and every bit as good for 1/2 the price as American guitars. I'm glad that people are excited by the guitars they buy, but it can get a little tiring hearing how great their choices are. Last edited by Kerbie; 09-13-2019 at 01:37 PM.

All AGF threads can be summarized in those three words unless someone can point out a thread dealing with subsistence living by residents of a third world country who also play the guitar....

The irony is that many of these "best in the world" guitars are sold within a few years.

Guys, let's get off this never-ending discussion of brand bashing. It's OK to ask questions and it's OK to voice opinions. Simply voicing one's opinion does not usually merit a bash. The conversation of bashing has gone on long enough. Move on...

Are people living in a first-world country the only people concerned about having the wrong pick guard on a guitar?
