I forgot, what does this have to do with guitars?

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Taylors keep popping up on this board like the drunken uncle, I think I had the Taylor shop in Old Town San Diego do some repair work for me in the 70's in San Diego, and they were ordinary people with an interest in making guitars sound good. When does a luthier become a factory, you have all defined it when you point out that Taylors are no longer quality, in the 70's, the Taylor luthiers played each guitar and passed judgement as to whether it should bear the name. Southern CA was a hotbed of bluegrass and folk, and Taylor was part of it, every time a manufacturer gets national attention, they start thinking IPO with great riches. Then the accountants take over and tell the luthiers to get their ass out of the way and let the managers make some money off of this fame that only they can exploit. That may explain modern Taylor guitars.
My new computer seems to have a truth element built in, I'll try to control it.

Location: Colorado | When did this phenomina happen to Ovation?
In all fairness, your sinario rings true of the birth of any company, large or small. It doesnt mean they don't make a good product, at least once in a while, I.E. Tuesday thu Thursday (hi).
Buying a guitar is like buying a pair of shoes. One decides on a model then trys on every pair of size 10 1/2 in the store(s) until one fits. |

Ovation; an investment?
