Elderly is about an hour from here, and I brought my DV-52 to have them look at the LR Baggs pickup system, it's not producing enough signal for my liking.
Anyway, I spent about an hour perusing the acoustic guitars and mandolins. Hardly any Guilds, and no Oxnards. I played a Collings, a Huss & Dalton, and a Santa Cruz, all fine guitars and all with price tags at around $5K. I quit playing and just looked at price tags for awhile. And of course they have 50-60 Martins in the room.
I was really coveting this little A-style Collings Mandolin, beautiful flamed Maple back and sides, and what sweet tones it produced! The room fairly vibrated when I picked that baby. But alas, I didn't have $2,900 on me.
