And the price is up to $15,500...
And to think, when it was at $14,000 I could have had a Legend AND a Kimber Montana...

Great work Lisa!
Jeani and I just flew home from Shot Show in Vegas tonight. We used Alaska Airlines and they offer WiFi for $10.00, and it worked great. Surfing 24hr CF on an I-Pad on an airplane, who ever thought?
Allen would have enjoyed the web site, and would have had written witty post about it.
Very classy website

Guys: It ain't just rifles. You can pick up an Alvarez, or Fender, or a Yamaha, etc., acoustic guitar for $300 or less at the local music store. Here's the price on a new Martin guitar: http://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/choosing/guitars.php?p=z&g=h&m=D-18%20Authentic%201937Think that's high, here's one introduced just this year: http://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/choosing/guitars.php?p=z&g=h&m=D-45%20Authentic%201942And in case you wanted to add some bling: http://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/choosing/guitars.php?p=z&g=h&m=D-100%20DeluxeJust 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! Consider the alternative.

Well said. Now if only Eric Clapton could actually play as well as the uninitiated think he does... the most overrated guitarist on the planet.

Stevie Ray was hot chit... until he quit drinking. Saw him both pre and post. Pre was WAY better.
He had it all. Serious technique, monster tone, and just bursting with soul...
As to spendy git-fiddles... I've played a dozen or so guitars "worth" well up into the six figures and gosh, maybe a hundred worth in the 10's of thousands. With very few exceptions the value there is mostly speculative (collectors...)...
Then again, with guitars there's significant subjectivity there. Does it sound great? Dunno! Who can say? There's not an empiracal measurement like "it shoots .35" groups at 100 yards"...
The CENTER will hold.

I'll wager that there are fewer Legend rifles on the planet than there are bejewel guitars.

As my granpa used to say"ain't America a grand land!"
I can buy a David Miller,Echols or for that matter a Ferrari.Strictly my choice.
Hell I can even throw my left over mashed potatoes in the garbage.
My Yamaha LL16L is probably better than my abilities.
