Low quality
It's time to treasure your wonderful instruments. The last decade has shown us poor or low quality. Sorry John, you've dropped the ball!x

Re: Low quality
Aw, they're not so bad. I think quality is better now then say, 2000-2005.
Re: Low quality
Its funny you mention quality,i have two 360V64's, a 12 from 1989 and a 6 from 1999.
The 89 12 is much better,the 99 has what seems like a small bit of binding shrinkage around the upper horn that you can actually feel the ridge between the wood and binding,and a drill hole that was covered up before finishing in the neck heel!

Re: Low quality
Perhaps they're not so bad but for what is perceived as a premium instrument things are being overlooked. I fear can't keep up with demand may become can't seem to get anyone to buy a new one. Buy up good ole guitars quick and enjoy. Your hard earned dollars should buy top notch gear like it used to. Mr hall won't be upset for he has a thick skin!

Watch those teeth, Marlin. I'm not sure we've properly sedated the beast . . .

Re: Low quality
Are we talking about something specific here or is this general whining?
