Guitars are out of Australia and the ones I tried were priced from $1,250 to $2,250 US

Quick comment: Wow, very nice guitar. Well built, nice sound, and light!!!

I played the

MS500/HC (SC in neck, HB in bridge position)
MS500 (two HB's)
MS2000DLX

I have never (truly never) picked up a guitar that felt so good and just seemed to play so easily. I may go back this weekend to plug it in to a better amp, if not, I will definitely be playing it on Wednesday when I go for lessons.

The set-up on this guitar (all three) was just perfect (tribute some of that to the luthier at the store). If I was buying in this price range I would very seriously consider buying one over a Fender, Gibson, Gretsch..., it is definitely a guitar that grabbed me immediately. Of course it was only about 30 minutes of playing and I don't have the talent to run it through its paces, but a very impressive guitar as far as I'm concerned.

Only 8 dealers in the US. The company is still family owned and been in business since 1946.
