That one has to r the most expensive price for an ilson I have ever heard of - approaching pre-war Martin om28 prices.

That makes me feel better about what I had to pay for the 40th Anniversary Guitar, which is spectacular !

Considering he doesn't work at all for 6 months of the year, I'd say he does a pretty decent output for a mostly one man show at his age, especially, when a lot of folks don't work at all.

When he is here (in MN) he sure does like to golf, though. He's a member at the TPC course not far from his house. I've played with him there. He's a hoot on and off the course. A great guy.
