I think the original question is "If they had the money". So really, why wouldn't you if you had the money to spend without it affecting you adversely? If $10k is nothing to you, buy the thing, DUH! Buy a few Taylors too while you're at it. Why not, you're obviously not hurting for cash buying guitars at these prices.
Now if you're having to save up to buy it, that's a whole different story. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Retirement? What's that? Actually, what meager retirement I had went into buying a house and starting a music store. So I guess you could rightly say that if I had the money (and I did), I would buy a BUNCH of guitars.(and I did.) The cool thing is, I have no bills, except utilities and taxes. And this shop IS my retirement. I hope to keep running it until I die, and then it gets passed on (along with my house) to Jarrett. (He's that super-talented kid I've mentioned before) I have no family left, but the good Lord saw fit to introduce me to my "son". I'd be willing to bet, when the time comes, HE would buy a slot-head with the money I leave him. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | CS, you have a great attitude. I've decided it was a good thing we never made it to the Black Hills. Now I have another reason to visit and look you up at your music store.
(I have threatened to visit several people on this board and, once they overcome their initial fear, they have all done fine.) |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Yeah Mark, come see the Hills! I warn you though, you may never want to leave. (Ask Tim Chapman.) It truly is the most beautiful place in the world. And there are more really talented musicians here than anyplace I've ever been. And hey, if you came out, I could get YOU to run the shop for me for one day so I could take a day off! I haven't been to the Needles Highway since May. I won't get another day off until October. It's OK though, fall is the best time to go up there. Seriously, I think ALL of you should come out here for a visit. Let me show you all MY version of Paradise. And I just bought some new chairs so there's plenty of seating for a great jam session. And anyone from either coast could bring me some SEAFOOD! PLEASE?? |

Who would buy an original Slothead Adamas if they had the money?
