If they have some take a look at Larrivee too...they make great guitars and are a little less than Taylor. Great sound though.

I am glad I don't know of these places, or have any of them around here. Those GC stores sound horrible. Do you guys have to go there? Do you not have ANY independant music shops?

Sam ash is crap compared to GC.. anyway the only local music stores i have is Black Horse Music, and they only have about.. 10 guitars, the rest is violins and such.. and Old Towne Music, which deals with used guitars and all other instruments.. i got my 1st guitar there, was $100 electric Carlo Robelli with a big crack down the middle.. lol

when i'm an old man (45) and have finished paying off my school loans, I will probably get one of each cuz I just love the highs of the Taylor's, but I also love the warm bass of the Martins

Ok I realize this is totally off topic but I just realized where Appsoldier goes to school (guess I never really looked). Anyway. App do you know a guy named Fletcher McNeil hes about 6'6 and has decently long red hair. Really lanky. ?
If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But ONLY if you're serious about adopting the vulture.
