Yes, I tried the baby taylor. AMAZING. What a sound. I believe, even small, it is worth his price.
I have a Martin Backpacker, producing a very strange sound, you can compare it to a mix of guitar-banjo-mandolin, and I tried it using a mic: amazing sound, but IMPOSSIBLE to play sitting.
BIG MISTAKE MARTIN MAKERS.
About the prices I wrote down: they are all in US dollar.
My currency is ALSO NOT A DOLLAR, but EURO. Try the XE currency converter.

Well this is interesting news, do they still make Fenders in Japan?
It also depends what a FENDER STRATOCASTER is today. 30 years ago, you had a stratocaster and a telecaster, and that was all I think. But if you stand in front of US stratocasters today, you don't know what to choose, a Beck model, a Clapton model, the relic series, some almost identical Fenders, have a different price, sometimes only 50-100$, it is really searching to find the right guitar.

Thanks dollie, I still feel good, I am Dr FEELGOOD. But even knowing that the pain I have is a part of me, it is sometimes too much. I am too busy on my PC, and when I get up, I have to hold me everywhere because I can't walk no more. There is 1 thing I regret, and that still makes me sad: I contacted Carnival Cruise Lines in Miami, 1 month after a surgical intervention, to make me better, but it was worse. Guess what, I met the responsible for recruiting the medical staff, in the Netherlands, his girlfriend lives there, only 62 kilometres from where I live. He explained me everything, also described my cabin, on a corner, a real big one, having a huge plasma television, and, I'll never forget his words: for you doctors, it is LOVE BOAT. That will be, except for your job, the biggest problem. They know that being a doctor on a cruise ship, you are free, and a lot of women take the first step. You are also the 4th in ranking, and they love uniforms, also he told me that all the doctors are married 3-5 years later with (almost always a rich woman). But my interest was THAT JOB. All my friends told me that I was crazy, I can't work here, so how can I work on a ship: 10 minutes on my knees and they need 2 persons to get me standing, always followed by my left leg, that has no power, so I would giove the impression of a drunk: US---BIG PROBLEMS. I am also a gifted hypnotist, but performing?? you have to stand.

I do agree. I was involved in a discussion with PRS, a few days ago, I will try to copy and paste their answer. I wrote PRS concerning a special, and a probably "would be a future super investment, they made 3 different models, with different coils. I will write them like this s= single coil and h= humbucker. 3 different models: S-S-S (Lindy Fralin pick-ups in domino shape) a S-S-H and a H-S-H. PROBLEM: I purchased them on eBay, but the last 10 months, you will not see a US made EG. You will see a PRS EG SE S-S-S made in Korea, looks like a strat, and the S-S-S US made sounds BETTER than my original Fender US Stratocaster 1964.
The purpose was to go in competion with Fender. PROBLEM, they only started around 1985, and they produced 2 US models from 1990-1992, and one from 1990-1994. At this moment, they started to produce the PRS EG SE, in Korea. I have one: A PRS Billy Martin SE. SE stands for Student Edition. The sound is great, it is a "light guitar, and even worse: it sounds better than my Gibson SG Menace.
I asked them if their was a big difference between SE and USA, the answer I got:
The SE models are fantastic guitar, especially considering the price, but I feel the US made guitars are the finest electric guitars anywhere. Some of the pickups were the same, like the HFS, but others were different like the Fralin Domino pickups. If you mail them: you will get an answer very fast.
I am thinking, if I will have more money again, to buy a singlecut PRS, like the soapbar. I will ask PRS what the difference is between US soapbar and Korean soapbar. The SE production is in KOREA, but reading all critics and tests: PRS seems to be the only company, testing and studying the Korea made guitars. Even for an SE, they want the highest quality standards (at least this is what most of guitar magazines write. If you have time read some comments about the SE line.
They receive almost always the highest rating, and in fact you get MORE guitar than you paid for.
So, I am still doing research why these guitars are so "loved" and I try to figure out what the real difference is. One thing: low production cost, but that is not the only reason why you pay 500$ in stead of 5000$. Is IT THE WOOD, THE CONSTRUCTION? the hardware can be different, but that is also not the reason. You can always change the SE pick-ups by US pick-ups, but will it sound better.
CONCLUSION: The best guitar, in my opinion, is PRS SE: reasonable price and a great sound.
If I buy one, being a PRS FAN, it might be the single cut soapbar.

I saw the Michael Kenny guitars, real nice.
I think I mentioned that I went to a music store with me (everything 15% of the retail price), and we tried out some Epi's, more specific SG models. YOU NEED REALLY TO FORGET THAT IT IS NOT A GIBSON SG, but that will remain impossible. EPI = EPI, they are real good, if I would buy me another guitar (still have 30) I would go for the EPIPHONE CUSTOM LP IN WHITE.
I did good business, or better, investments, because all what I own, has doubled in price since 2 years. Prices are going crazy.
I forgot I did buy once a "CHINESE GIBSON" Beautiful on the outside, I received it but 250$ transport, but only 1$ for the FAKE. Fantastic shiny top, like the on the LP SUPREME. Playing, the guitar was at least 25% lighter than another, but she sounded not bad at all, the only problem was the noise, feedback from your amp. With a 10 metres of cable you could avoid it. I was thinking about putting EMG's, selling was not fair, I saw a lot of "US CITIZENS" placing their bogus gibson on eBay, even with comments like super Gibson, and the price was starting from 1$. I had the luck that the guy who buyed the Epi SG, NEEDED and WANTED REAL BAD that Gibson, he paid me 300€ = 410$, I even didn't ask him a price and he new it was a bogus, a CHINESE GIBSON LES PAUL, but she was so beautiful, and as told not bad at all. He is still really happy, and even more happy that nobody believes him.

The KINKS: Rock and Roll Fantasy, is a beautiful song. In fact one of the most beautiful tunes.
You know, in Napster time, I had more than 300 KINKS songs
PROCOL HARUM: 300-400 songs. This is unbelievable.
I have paid for WinMx, and this is one of the best today. I was able to download the complete Creedence Clearwater Revival, box. See on Amazon. Every single song is in that bow. Of course I have all their CD's, I baught one in a Pawn shop for 2$.
The Who: incredible. BUT I HAVE ONE BIG PROBLEM: since I had to stop working as MD, I don't listen (sometimes) my albums. When I was still active, I spend a lot of time listening my CD's, I listened 6 CD's in 4-5 days.
But on the other hand, I am glad. When I had to stop because of medical reasons (I was a walking pill, at the end, you never get used to pain) I started more to play myself, and having the opportunity, I purchased 10 guitars, on eBay, PRS (4) Gibson (3) and of course a Fender strat and tele. Add 4 acoustic guitars.. I shouldn't have done that last year, but I play AND collect guitars. The price of the PRS EG series has doubled in price in 1 year. That's why I always give advise to spend some more $$, obtaing a guitar that is no longer produced.

Well, monsieur c'est la verite.
But I can't fart like that, they are capable to "suck" air with their anus. And about the clouds I described, it is true too, but try to DO IT . Every living being (don't know about insects) get's air in the stomach. That air has 2 ways to get out: mouth & anus.
So ALL the people who claim that they don't fart, are lying. I have to invent a kind of spray, with a harmless, and "colour giving" product. Let's say it's purple, well because of the air in de stomach, it will leave from behind. So, everybody is farting, and you would see a little purple cloud.
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT BEING A BABY, farting and (is this the right word?) eructation. But suddenly all these things are forbidden. WHY ???
If there is no farting or eructation, you well have serious problems. When you had a surgical intervention, the first thing they ask are about this.

Another point: You believe in Jesus, but when he comes to sit at your table, and you talk with him, well this will result in everything except believing.

Like Royce Drake: start Em and the first chord to play is as described. There is a little "switch"and if you compare the chord is
e   x      o

B   x      x

G   x      x

A   x      o

E   x       x    this chord is actual a Em9

I use the o to tell you where to put your fingers, staying, in fact this whole song is played on the 2nd fret.
DO NOT THINK IT'S EASY, because of the "quicker" changes, but the day you can play it for 100%, you will enjoye. Use Acoustic or Electro-Acoustic guitars
The add means something, Aadd6: is the A on the second fret but you add the little E chord. So an A but instead of 3 fingers, you add a 4th finger on 2nd fret. It looks like this:
x   x   x   x   x   x  1th fret 
x   x   o   o   o   x  2nd fret
