This seems like a very lovely guitar. It's one I wouldn't mind owning at all. It's quite different than anything I own at present. One of the owners used to work at Taylor. You can see the similarity in the looks. The sound? What do you think?

I've played a few Waldens and they're quite nice. If nothing else, the primary difference between paying for a Taylor vs. a Walden is paying a guy in America a living wage to build a Taylor or a guy in China 1/20th of that (or less). That particular shopping methodology has cost North America millions of jobs and I try not to support it when I can.

** Edit: The only pricing I could find for the 3000 series is on Reverb where I seller wants $1,700. Based onwhat they're paying for wages in China I'm thinkin' somebody is making a crapload of money with their business model.

Maybe the CEO, upper level management and the marketing team should make a lot less.

Why, are they overpaid?

I will let you decide that one on your own.

When I was young if you got $10 an hour the goose had laid it's golden egg in you bank account.

Ha, you're obviously much younger than me. My first job was $1.65/hour. I moved from NB to Toronto the next year and was making $2.25/hour. I thought that was pretty good at the time and it was.
