More recently I was quite surprised at how really, and I mean really, good, Lowdens are. I came across an o32 I really loved, but decided to not let impulsiveness control me; came back three days later and it was gone.
I've played some SGGC guitars and haven't been as jazzed by them as others seem to be. I haven't also ever considered pulling out my wallet over the couple of Bourgeois and Collings I've played, but I keep an open mind because those could have been less than ideal examples.

I don't think that the OP meant factory production guitars, but rather very small shop and solo builders.
