   Okay, in my opinion, Gibson's stuff cannot, on the grounds of quality,   
   justify the premium prices, but you'll still find a lot of people who'd   
   rather have a Mastertone than a Stelling, Deering or that Grenada copy   
   that Sonny sells, and a lot of people would rather have an actual Gibson   
   F-5 than one of those really well-built handmades.  Of course, Gibson has   
   pretty much lost the race in the reso world, with Scheerhorn, Beard and   
   Guernsey making better axes, and Guernsey coming in at slightly under the   
   list price of an actual Dobro.
