Re: Paul Brett Vintage Viaten or Ashbury?
FWIW I have the AT14 Ashbury and am happy with that. I showed it to my music teacher and he thought it a decent guitar for the money. I got mine 2nd hand from ebay -you also see them at a cheaper price on Amazon occasionally.
Everything works, although a setup might help it out, the nut is a bit high. It sounds pretty decent and much like any other guitar, so if you are looking for a distinctive tenor sound this might not be the one for you.
I called in at Hobgoblin about a month ago and had a quick strum of what they had in the basement, the only one that sounded significantly better than mine, to my ear, was the Lindisfarne cutaway at 3 times the price.
Haven't tried a Viaten, and you could probably find a Tanglewood or Kala at a similar price or an Ozark for a bit more.
