Last night I wrote down all 42 solid wood acoustic guitars I have owned since 1982, what I liked and didn’t, why I moved on, and any that I missed having. Next to the SJT I wrote one word: perfect.
They will bury me with this one. It’s not a guitar, it’s a piano.
Players Say: "What a staggering collection."
I just witnessed Dream Guitars in Asheville NC. What a staggering collection. Vintage instruments I’d always wanted to try – guitars by contemporary luthiers we read about – exotic masterpieces – they had the lot. I soon realised that manager, Paul Heumiller knew every detail of every guitar right down to the bridge pins, he is an authority on historical instruments and he plays himself. All presented in a friendly atmosphere, and after about 5 cups of tea, I was forced to leave the showroom thanks to Asheville airport. I may have to change my flight details next time!
