Clearly a big endorsement for Stonebridge too, given the research you've done. Cheers for that (Richard will be pleased too I would think) - if I ever spend some decent money on an acoustic (probably will one day) I will be sure to give them very serious consideration.

I know what you mean about posting clips of your own playing, I am similarly reticent about mine! But jesus you did well with that Brook though, it's obviously just something else - and as you say, already played in and matured, and 500 quid under budget as well - well played that man! I can only imagine what playing a guitar like must feel like - you must have a smile on your face...

lester - I do agree with you there, 1400 for a brand new Stonebridge of that quality - wow. Great guitar, and more than stood up to competition of Guitars of £3000.
I certainly feel from my investigations that European Guitars have a different feel and sound to the US ones. just seems if you want to buy a 'brand' (martin taylor etc) you will pay a lot more to get the same or similar quality. I set a budget of 2k, and I was looking for a guitar that would be with me for life, and i have found it. To a certain extent the price wasn't the guiding factor, i would have gone up £500 if a guitar had the appeal, lucky for me that it turned up for a lot less!
On the maturing factor, my martin, which you can see in the last pic, nearly got the flick a few years back, its now 9 years old, somewhat battle scared and sounds brilliant, a lot better than when i first bought it...Also my playing is significantly better too;-)
cheers
Chris
