I’ve yet to play one but have spoken a bit with Ciaran and follow his builds on FB and Instagram. Gorgeous guitars!

Indeed they are, he's a good egg... even sent me a whole load of photo's showing when the Neck bolt are with dimensions to avoid drilling in the wrong place for my strap button!

The price isn’t much for a lot of people here...but it is for me.

But, if I were to have a windfall there is no doubt I’d own that guitar.

Hey Ozarkpicker, that's fair comment, me too until I decided to sell the Bike!
Totally agree the Collings OM is gorgeous... but multo expensive!

Hi RP, mmm... tempting!

That Gibson JB is a new one on me... but hey I love the quote lol!

Hi ChrisE, they all sound lovely... and tbh I could have spent yonks trying some of those vintage guitars, though I do wonder if my ears would make me think again, or would I still want to go back to the McNally???
Either way, I'm looking forward to growing even older - with the guitar - as it too becomes a bit more vintage!

Well Mr Paul, that is the trick isn't it?? And finding one store where you can play in a quiet corner. My search took me half way across London... and so easily could have included some excellent shops in Surrey, Sussex and even further afield!!

Thank you Musicman1951, nice reply!

[OMGoodness me]

Fair comment!

I would love a Martin Peter Frampton d 41 , because im such a big fan,
very cool guitar model for me I would think
and maybe a Santa Cruz Dpw.

Well, I already did experience a windfall, and I went on a guitar safari across 4 states. I bought a Martin CF-1 archtop I'd had my eye on for a while, after shopping a wide range of guitars. I already have a couple of Martin dreads, so I didn't feel like I needed another acoustic.

But, if there were stipulations to a new windfall, that I had to spend the money, and buy an acoustic, my choices would be a D-18, a D-41 ambertone, a Guild d-55 if I could find one, or a Taylor 814ce dlx or the Builder's Edition koa.
