    Re: Carter Vintage

    Who do you consider to be more "highly regarded" among current acoustic players? As in, liked by more people, and more respected among his peers? Genuinely curious.

    Re: 1910 A-1 with fantastic wide grain

    How on earth is it shoddy manufacturing when MANY of these old mandos are still being played regularly, over 100 years later? Please get back to me in 113 years with an update on your Hora, lol!

    Re: Punch Brothers "Hell on Church Street"

    They do a great version of “Gold Rush”. The song on HOCS is called “The Gold Rush”, and doesn’t seem to have any direct relationship to the old BG standard other than a (very) similar name.
