LOL frankinbuff and surfpick

I don't mind the extensive post frankinbuff. I actually, love hearing you talk about guitars and your vast knowledge of it and I thank you for sharing your time. I find it all very interesting and I feel that I've really learned a lot. I'm a guitar fanatic myself and I love reading about anything related to the guitar such as materials for construction, the new technology/ gadgets available nowadays, and the guitars out there- especially from people like you who are not known yet and who are just beginning to make guitars. I strongly believe that no- name brand manufacturers tend to make the best guitars because you can guarantee that everything's made out by hand, everything's hand picked, and the attention to detail is superb. They spend more time to give quality to guitars instead of the big shot brand- mass produced- hurried- low quality- guitars made nowadays.

Just look at PRS. PRS used to make the best guitars in the 80s when it was still a relatively unknown brand compared to Gibsons and Fenders- everything's hand made and they select the best wood and materials available for construction. But when PRS started to gain popularity I think in 1985 or 86 and everyone's demanding one in the 90's, they have to start mass producing their guitars, started building their guitars through machines instead of by hand, they don't pay as much attention to detail, quality, and craftsmanship anymore. They also started cost cutting and also used very cheap asian hardware, and woods instead of american and german hardware which is very sad. That's why if you noticed, the old PRSs sound more superior than the new PRS that they come up nowadays although they're selling the new PRSs now for almost double or triple the price of the older PRSs.
