RE: Guitar making today better than ... (in reply to Echi)

I don’t know...you’re packing a lot of peripheral stuff in there and that clouds the question. When the question is approached from the perspective of a particular buyer in these times who is searching for a guitar which meets a fairly narrow criteria, for example, a Spanish guitar made in Spain, then you may have a point, albeit a contentious one. But, if you remove the noise thrown into the mix by the handful of prominent dealers, consider that the best of instruments were never particularly affordable, allow the search to extend beyond regional boundaries, and then include the full spectrum of guitar making, I think you’ll find that it is a continuum, and fine instruments can be found in abundant quantities. Perhaps the passage of time is required to dilute the influence of locality, marketing, and economics and allow the instruments which have stood its test to be inducted into the pantheon. But that doesn’t mean those instruments are not being created. I actually find this old v.s. new topic to be illogical, when considered at its core. It’s also a little defeatist.
