I recieved in stock a Goldtone SM Weissenborns and I think it's great. I will
admit my experience with these guitars is limited but it has great sustain and tone. I
can recognize those two atributes. Detail work is clean. I have a Dean Markley trilogy
pick-up I'm going to install today so I'll let you know how that works out. At 999.00
retail this seems to me to be a buy after discounted. |

| Chuck, Your's is the first positive review I have read about them...several Weissenborn players on another forum that tried them gave them thumbs down. |

I'm sure there are better sounding intruments
in the marketplace, but for the money the solid Goldtone is good. I am daily surprized
by the sound of the new generation of "off
shore" instrument like the Goldtones , Michael Kelly and Saga brands. The majors have forced the small stores to find an alternative that works. These guys are trying
harder. [This message was edited by Chuck McGill on 25 June 2004 at 01:44 PM.] |

I just played an LM (laminated) model -- which does not come anywhere close to either of the Superiors I have owned. A Superior is about a hundred bucks more, but the difference in tone and quality makes it well worth it. (I liked the GoldTone's matte finish, but not much else about it.)
I would like to try the SM and SS guitars, though ...[This message was edited by Russ Young on 27 June 2004 at 02:27 PM.] |

Chuck, have you installed the Dean Markley Trilogy pickup yet? I'm really curious about how it sounds.
