    Rich, We went to different schools. My math is a little different. Every guitar made in the USA that a musician can't afford is a guitar not sold and not manufactured. In the 60's a teenager started out on a Kent and graduated to a Fender, Gibson or Guild. If a Fender, it was a Mustang the Gibson was single pickup Junior the guild a Starfire 3. What is the current price point for a Collins, Gibson, Taylor or Heritage made in the USA?

    Sir Brently, $1,200 in 2026 vs $1800 for a US built H150 in 2006, don't know what the currency conversion is but that is not a bolt on neck and these features are arguably something preferable. Without hands and ears on it it's hard to make a value judgment. Best not sell something short just because of where it was built.

    I strung up my 147 with half rounds. The worst of each type I say, but that is just my fingers and ears

    Hope you never washed it after the inaugural event. It might still smell of sawdust from Marv, Jim, JP and Ren.

    Can't remember where I heard that before.

    Even better your choice was made with hands and ears! To paraphrase the words of the great Groucho Marx "who do you believe the guitar or your own eyes"!

    Wow! If this was a clear winner over several CC 535s as well as Gibsons, I can only imagine it plays and sounds as good as it looks. And it looks fantastic!!!

    Stunner!
  9. Spectrum13
    So, pay it forward or play it forward?

    LOVELY Some lumber on that 575!

    Saw one at a PSP can't remember which one but I should appear in the group photo. Could have been 2012 or 2013. That was the reason I asked Marv to build my 147

    Killer! All class that one is!

    Ridden hard and put away wet. Kidding I consider statements from the seller as suspect. We know the neck and body lumber being inaccurate. Unscrewing the control plate confirms what Rich and I noticed from the photo. Not the first time a seller reported only driven on Sundays to church by a little old lady.

    Rich, Not surprised a 10 year old guitar has nickel or chrome hardware with a patina, is dirty and looks aged. Might be an indication it was played and loved rather that left under the bed.

    Very nice! I question the description of the neck. It appears to be a three piece consisting of Korina and Maple. When I was at a PSP and picked out a neck blank, I chose a three piece Korina / maple they had lying around. Could be an employee build which IMO is better than a production with choice of wood and attention to detail. So there is that.
