Yojimbo, I think I know what's the problem here. You have most likely never tried any other guitar than AG. Is that correct? I, So far had at least 15 if not more, not sure exactly. And all had entirely different tone, projection capacity, vibration, pulsation and how they reacted when played and played in various ways. Some of them were completely deff, dull and without life. Some other were exceptional. If I was a customer I would certainly want to know more about their origin, who builds them, where, in factory, or on the knee. But I don't understand this hype to be honest, for someone to prefer buying AG over a genuine guitar from honest luthier's hands. Especially if prices of AG are not exactly low. Even the pricing is shrouded with mystery.. If the guy who's gonna take my hard-earned money is not accessible to provide serious information, so it's unavoidable that it will raise these issues and sarkasm. Believe me, there are more options than you might think. Just a parable. Imagine having 2 options on an Island. Eating valrus shiat or sand. I prefer sand over shiat. Some people, however, do prefer shiat. I don't know what's wrong with them. Not knowing chocolate or some other delicate goodies, I would be firmly convinced that sand is the way to go. Until ocean will not bring some sealed-in box full of chocolate. Then I realize I lived in total ignorance about what is really good and tasty. My taste was developed for loving sand as the ultimate food. But after trying chocolate, I would not be pleased to get back to sand... - And this is the same problem with some AG lovers. If I never had anything better than the total junk, I would rate your AG with number 10 probably. I urge you, go out somewhere where you can try some real guitar, or compare in real time with your AG.
