Talk to Paul, the owner, he's a lovely guy.
If you click on the SJ's they're actually all sold out - none in stock.
By coincidence, I offered both my Martin guitars and my Huss & Dalton as a trade on their Eastman jumbo just last week - he wasn't interested in them.

They are not cheap. The alternative route is going used. If the guitar brings you that much joy and curbs your GAS for a good while, the price might just be worth it. The last thing I'll say, and this is kinda evil for me for saying it so I'll apologize in advance... Michael Millard has been building guitars for a long time. There will come a time when he will not be building anymore, so if you find one you like, you may want to move on it. They truly are special instruments.
Probably the only guitar I've ever played or owned that justified the axiom that you get what you pay for. My Olson at three times the price is long gone, if that tells you anything. . . .

You were going to trade a Huss & Dalton for an Eastman??? I have owned both and while they are both fine guitars the Huss & Dalton is a step above Eastman.

I turn to Wildwood often. I bought the AER 60/3 I have for sale on here from there, among a handful of guitars and other gear over the years!

I'm aware of the difference however I've come to the conclusion that I'm just a simple strummer and while my H&D is a superb guitar it's light build and amazing responsiveness is best suited for fingerstyle work.
Having said that, I really put it out there to test the waters and I'll happily keep it and my Martins if I can't find a suitable trade.
