Have to agree with you about the prices Bob, I read the digital copies of a a few guitar mags Guitarist etc and some of the prices are just crazy, 4-5k for a guitar, with most of the least expensive £1000 or more.

I have never owned or even played any of the guitars you mention and probably never will, I just don't see the point taking into consideration my guitar musical ability, or dishing out the dosh for a name.

I do have a few Washburn guitars that I got from Amazon that I like, well made quality finish, I believe the name anyway is USA.

I don't know about Amazon in us but Uk Amazon is the pits for sending a guitar just in one cardboard box, no bubble wrap whatsoever, they never seem to learn that a guitar needs protection.

What a difference with Thomanns, well packaged with two boxes and lots of air bubble wrap protection.
