What a couple of beautiful guitars. Aren't they next to the cat's scratching post though?

They are calling this the golden age of lutherie. We boomers have acquired some $$ and are able to keep the folks building quality guitars busy. The price of vintage Fenders, Gibsons, Martins, etc, is crazy too.

Just watched the Concert for Bangladesh DVD. The stage was filled with guitar players, many sadly gone now.

They're both well balanced and good for many different styles.
Frank, nice axes. Do you pick or strum? A close friend whoplays the concertina is very in to Irish music. When he goes to sessions to play tunes, he says there is real prejudice against guitar players who strum. I'm guessing Celtic music is similar?
