I would think that for either guitar they would have at least $20k profit and probably doesn't play any better than a Gibson costing $3k or less.

(and I like the big archtops - they have grown back on me in last decade or so) But for that kind of money I could buy a new L-5 (don't want a new one, but could get one), another D'Angelico (love my Excel), Benadetto, Comins (Chester Ave, Classic, even Custom), etc. with money left over to build another precision long range rifle in 6.5mm (1/4" MOA) with glass (Nightforce, Vortex Razor, Kahles, Schmidt & Bender) with enough change left over from that to drive through Micky-D's for a cup of coffee (senior pricing of course - LOL) Larry Win10Pro,i9,64GB,2TBSSD+20TBHDDs,1080TI,BIAB'24,Scarlett18i8,Montage7,Fusion 8HD,QS8,Integra7,XV5080,QSR,SC-8850,SPLAT,FL21&others,Komp.14,IK suite&others, just a guitar player-AXE FX III &FM9T, FishmanTP, MIDIGuitar2, GK2/3'sw/GI20

It was essentially the same guitar with a solid carved body, a floating pickup and volume and tone controls mounted on the pickguard. It was a work of art. The second was an early 40's Gibson L-5 that was made for Roy Smeck. He was famous back then. It was a wonderful guitar.

And that is including (some of) your personal specs... http://www.sonntag-guitars.com/ The site is in German but has most pages in English if you choose to prefer that language.

There are better instruments being made now than ever before. While Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Fender and PRS continue to price themselves out of the reach of a working musician or serious hobbyist, importers have jumped ahead by building very decent copies of those instruments priced at just a fraction of what an American made instrument would cost. Are the USA made instruments typically better? Yes. Are they 10 times or 20 times better? Probably not. There are also high end independent luthiers that are making amazing and extremely high priced instruments. I'm just glad that an average musician can get a really decent guitar without having to sell his/her car to do it. Last edited by bobcflatpicker; 12/30/20 09:28 AM.

He lead me to Harley Benton guitars and this $308 USD jazz guitar has that sweet jazz tone that I love: https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_bigtone_vintage_orange.htm I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................" 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

They knowingly gave it to me because the error was theirs, not mine. The first one was a Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-28VE WN https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_custom_line_cla_28ve_wn.htm The second one was a Harley Benton HB-35Plus Cherry https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_hb_35plus_cherry_bundle.htm The third one was a Harley Benton ST-90SA Swamp Ash DLX Series https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_st_90sa_swamp_ash_dlx_series.htm The fourth and final one of this year is the freebie! Not bad for a freebie! Harley Benton Custom Line CLD-41SE WN https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_custom_line_cld_41se_wn.htm All of these guitars look great, sound great and play great! Not to mention that you couldn't even buy one single American made name brand guitar for what these cost. American manufacturers need to wake up before they get overwhelmed.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
