From the recording point of view, Guild and Martin sound very good,
but my favourite acoustic has to be the Olson, as played by James
Taylor.

James Olson makes fantastic instruments; among the very best that I've
heard. Of course, you pay dearly for that tone, starting at $12,500.

Yes of course. It's the same with recording equipment. There
are many microphones that are Neumann look-alikes, but that is
where the similarity ends!

We truly are experiencing a "second golden age" of the guitar builder's
art. See Mike Baranik (which I play, along with the fantastic Martin
OMC-28m Laurence Juber), the late Lance McCollum, Kevin Ryan, James
Goodall, et al.

Good news. Despite the attractions of DVD and plug-
and-play entertainment it is encouraging to see so many
youngsters carrying musical instrument cases.
