He actually bought one from one of the online dealers and when it arrived the headstock was broken. They're Definitely not worth the 2-3K each. I think Epiphone is comparable if not superior. The only complaint I have with them is that ones with the push-pull pots the tone and volume knobs have a tendency to come off. Problem with that is that some are coarse knurled and some are fine knurled and to make things worse some are measured in inches while others are in metric. So, it's difficult to figure out which replacement you need. And even if you do what's to stop it from happening again. I'm sure there's some fix I can find online or in a book. A few tweaks is usually all thats needed if any. I was looking at a few Reverends and a few other boutique brands online last year. As a matter of fact, I think you may recommended them to me awhile back. As I said music stores are few and far between around here nowadays so its pretty hard to find out lesser-known brands to try out before buying them, but I've had good luck with Sweetwater and find their guitars are pretty well set up and inspected out of the box. I'll check them out tomorrow when I'm busy doing something else. I like to put new stuff on in the background. This way if something catches my ear I know it's worth a few more listens. My story about my Fender acoustics made me remember something. I read somewhere that newer guitars, both electric and acoustic, are more susceptible to changes in temperature, humidity and altitude and after 4 or 5 years they stabilize and are less prone to climate changes. Obviously, they're always going to need to be adjusted periodically. Have you ever heard of this?</blockquote>
