Just for reference, the first one is what Eric Clapton plays. How much better can the latter two be? And yet, they sell out.

ANd don't even think about vintage pre-war Martins. How about a quarter-million? For a USED GUITAR!

It's Capitalism, baby. And more power to them, I say. Made in America too!
