Seriously, this will become one of my hobbies in the fullness of time, making guitars.
If I visited California, guess what town/city I'd want to see? Woodside, the home of Paul (or is it John) Gilbert, who according to a guitar book I own (The Complete Guitarist, Akira), is one of the world's leading makers of classical guitars.
Akira:
Do you drool over all the stuff in that book like I do? So I see a Martin D45 in there. Guess how much the "basic" model goes for on their website? About 8000. And that is not Zimbabwean dollars. Big Green American ones. :(
