Gotta start somewhere I would guess... might be fair if we only vote if we think all these amazing and beautiful creative and innovative things he makes are actually innovative and creative.

It's in the 180s now, and Emerald is in the lead. If he wins the million dollars do all of us voters get a discount or a cash return?

This was a pretty weighty decision as the hotel looks quite fetching and I do like aluminum. But I followed nephew's lead just to keep family peace.

Let there be peace... in the land of CF (and Ekoa) guitars and ukes and harp things and such.

Another vote added for Emerald. The other candidates are worthy too, but this is an innovation award. In the staid world of acoustic guitars, Emerald is breaking all the "moulds".

And post #6000!

And Alistair is running hard, he's at the front, the crowd is on its feet. Keep those votes coming--this is well deserved. I've always thought that Ireland should do like Japan, have National art representatives. Alistair does Ireland proud. Kramster too, but not so much, even though he does read the Donegal News.

I cast a +1 here....wait. Can I do that even though I've never seen much less touched one? I base my vote on pure innovation, which I've given Emerald credit for here before. Alistair is simply a genius and I must say that I'm not in the market for a guitar but if I ever find myself there again I'm giving Emerald my top consideration.

That was some very nice looking aluminum, but I voted Emerald. Now 176 votes with my contribution.
