Dan has a problem (and it’s not just talking about himself in the third person). Presumably there’s a 12 step program for Gear Acquisition Syndrome. But until Dan’s through that, he’s incredibly fortunate to enjoy an embarrassment of equipment. There are links through to the luthier (click on their name) and, for some, to build threads on the Acoustic Guitar Forum (click on the model).
