My point is most normal people don't buy $3,000 mics or $4,000 guitars. Most of the people I know are struggling just to get by.

The latest studies show the between 28% to 31 % of Americans are struggling " just to get by". Are you suggesting that 69 % of People are abnormal ? None of this is remotely relevant or on topic..... Cheers

Do "normal" people spend $2000 on a guitar? Most of my friends can't understand why I'd spend thousands of dollars on any one guitar when a guitar can be bought for a couple of hundred dollars. They'd think you're nuts for spending $2000 on that D35. You seem to have a lot of difficulty looking at a situation from anyone's point of view but your own.

I'm well aware people think I'm nuts for spending $2,000 on a guitar. But I know what it sounds like, I know the respect I get when I walk into a room full of other guitar players, I know this guitar will last me 40+ years, I know it has great resale value.

Now replace the word "guitar" with the word "mic," the phrase "room full of guitar players" with "studio," and take a moment to consider that just like some people don't know enough about guitars to understand spending $2000 on a guitar, you might not know enough about microphones to understand spending #3000 on a mic. That's possible, isn't it?

You missed the point..... If you can hear a difference then good for you.

And a great many people would say they hear very little difference between your D35 and Yamaha FG800.

I bought my D-18 new in 1975...going on 42 years now. That guitar was deemed to be very expensive at the time I bought it, but it has proven it's value many times over, over the years. It was a bargain.

Guess I guessed wrong. I bought my classical and electric guitars around 1975. Steel string acoustics I just started 6 or 7 years ago.
